Having a Barry Crocker? ANU wordsmiths want to hear about it 21 July 2021 If you know what it means to have a Barry Crocker or do the Harold Holt , wordsmiths at The Australian National University (ANU) want to hear from you.  The Australian National Dictionary Centre (ANDC) is looking for new contributions for the Australian National Dictionary, with a focus on rhyming slang. Rhyming slang substitutes words with rhyming words, names or phrases shocker becomes Barry Crocker , undies becomes Reg Grundies and goal becomes sausage roll .   ANDC Senior Researcher and Editor Mark Gwynn says it likely emerged in east London toward the middle of the 1800s and found its way to Australia very soon afterwards.
