Today's Word - Rangas

Well last night I was watching Can of Worms . It is a controversial program asking for the views of people on some more than other dodgy issues. One question came up in relation to the topic of body was - can you make fun of rangas? Now this word is new to me and means nothing. However there was a lot of hilarity and answers were yes you can make fun of them. I guessed that it was some sort of physical attribute that was being ridiculed.
So this morning I decided to look up this Aussie slang - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ranga
Yes it is rude as in the terms is used to denote a red haired person and is derived from the word 'orangutang'. Am sure the red heads of this world would love yet another slang term to ridicule them!! Notty..
