hooroo

Hooroo is a distinctively Australian way of saying “goodbye”.

The "truly wondrous fantasmagorically splendiferously magickal word hooroo" (credited to someone's Uncle Wally) echoes two likely sources.

It's a bit of a joyous exclamation, as in "Hooroo! hooroo!

hooray!" (Darby O'Gill), and it's also something of an owl's hoot, as in "the proper hooroo, hooroo" (The Sword in the Stone).

Desal

An abbreviated Australian word for a water desalinationplant, now in common usage in the Australian lingo and media.

The Desal plants in Australia are all grossly over-budget and now redundant due to the recent heavy rain.
