/ˈraŋə
/noun Australian informal, derogatory
A red-haired person.I generally see the same people walking most mornings - the wild-haired ranga with the hand weights, the two old Italian dudes who chat for the entire 7 km circuit, the guy who wears a white singlet no matter what the weather....
- I have a soft spot for rangas.
- How terrible it must have been for the ultra-competitor to realise he'd been beaten, by a ranga of the female persuasion no less.
