So, I have 2 Australian business partners, so I'm going to explain how Aussie slang/nicknames work. The word you want to make a slang word or nickname for first has to be rhymed with another word.

So, for "American", the Aussies start with "Yank", which rhymes with "Septic Tank", which gets shortened to "seppo" which is what Aussies call Americans.
To have a "look", the Aussies say have a "Captain", because "look" rhymes with "Captain Cook" which gets shortened to "Captain"
A "shark" is a "Noah" because shark rhymes with Noah's Ark.

While I do think Crocodile Dunkdee is clever and unbeatable, an Aussie would never work out a nickname that way.

My friend also proposed Cracker Jack, which has nothing to do with Australia to my knowledge, but is funny.

This is one of my favorite things I have ever read.

If he ever gets really good, we could name him after this all aussie strip troop in Vegas

He would have to get really good to justify that

Still a huge fan of White Flight despite the obvious problems with that name.

I don't actually think Crocodile Dunkdee is a workable or good nickname, btw. But it makes me laugh every time I think of it.

Isn't this Cockney? I think raspberry is slang for fart because it rhymes with raspberry tarts. Then again, East Londoners were probably a large part of the original penal colony at the antipodes.
