    Legend has it that when the white man first came to Australia he asked an Aboriginal the name for the funny looking creature bounding in the distance. Apparently the Aborigine replied "Kangaroo" which in the Aborigine language means "I don't understand you". So now we have an animal called "I don't understand you". Dinkum? Dunno, but an amusing story nonetheless.
