Off topic but where did you get that word from?
Around 1995 a group of us decided to come up with a new word for an idiot and we would use it over and over until we heard it become the norm.
The first thing we had to do was find a word and went through a few magazines with 100s of suggestions until one of us came across an Australian bird called a Drongo.
We used the word everywhere we went up until 2007 when we all parted.
It was obviously used by most of the factory we worked at but this is a first hearing it coming from West Lothian.

My dad once played "drongo" in a game of Scrabble. When queried he said it was an Australian word, comparable to wally. His dad had grown up in Australia, so he probably got it from him!
