lemon:value eng “An Australian aborigine, usually applied to those who are drunken, crazed and disorderly.”
lemon:value eng “Suggested as having an Australian aboriginal origin . If so, then it seems likely to come from binghi (elder brother) which appears in Aboriginal dialects[http://www.kasei.ac.jp/library/kiyou/2001/13.YOKOSE.pdf], also seen as bung (elder brother), in Indonesian dialects, (see also R. M. W. Dixon, Australian Aboriginal Words, Oxford University Press, 1990, ISBN 0-19-553099-3, page 165).Previously the word binghi was used widely in similar fashion to the present-day use of the term Negro for peoples of African ancestry, see titles from [http://www4.gu.edu.au/arts/ar17/search/redpage.txt this booklist] and also writings of w:Xavier Herbert (eg in Capricornia), for example.Whatever the origin, the term now spelled boong has taken on a particularly offensive slant, especially after spreading of a joke concerning the supposed etymology of the word, which in the joke is given as onomatopeiac, and due to a supposed practice of wanton disregard for road-safety of pedestrian Australian Aborigines.”
