词组 westie
释义 westie
noun
a young tough person AUSTRALIA, 1977
Originally referring to people from the western suburbs of Sydney, it now has spread to other parts of the country. In Sydney it was used as a derogatory sobriquet to refer to inhabitants of suburbs west of one’s own, which meant that everyone except those people living in the eastern beach suburbs was liable to be called a “westie” by someone. Similarly, in New Zealand, applied to those from the suburbs west of Auckland.
  • Gilmour believes westies live all over the country. No matter where they live they share a love of tight black jeans, the smell of burning rubber and the feel of a leather jacket. Being a westie is about lifestyle, not location. — Evening Post, p. 15, June 1988
