释义

broggy

/ˈbrɒɡi /
noun (plural broggies) (usually in phrase do a broggy) Australian informal
A sharp turn or slide in a vehicle: we wheeled around the car park doing broggies...
  • It reminded me of when we used to do broggies as kids in the gravel.
  • I managed to hold the slide (making all those broggies on gravel as a kid worthwhile).
  • Safety Nazis don't like kids doing that these days, as the dust kicked up during the broggy is seen as an environmental hazard.

Origin

1970s: possibly an alteration of US slang brodie, 'a spin made by a skidding vehicle', ultimately from Steve Brodie, a US daredevil who jumped from Brooklyn Bridge in 1886.
