Quote AI Overview
Banana bender
A "banana bender" is an Australian slang term for a person who lives in or is a native of the state of Queensland. The term is a humorous, sometimes derogatory, reference to the state’s large banana-growing industry, implying Queenslanders spend their time putting the bend into straight bananas. [1, 2, 3]
Key Aspects of the Term:
•
Origin: The term dates back to at least 1937, with records confirming its use for Queenslanders by 1940. It stems from the stereotype of Queensland being "bananaland".
•
Context: It is largely considered an affectionate or funny nickname, rather than a deeply offensive insult.
•
Related Terms: Queensland is sometimes referred to as "bananaland" and the Queensland border as the "banana curtain".
•
Alternative Name: People from Queensland are also sometimes called "Bananalanders". [1, 2, 3]
The term is widely recognized across Australia, particularly by residents of southern states referring to Queenslanders, and is a staple of Australian slang. [1, 2]
, the less intelligent persons at EA forced a player, using the tag: "Bananabender", to change their username, because some other less intelligent person decided to 'take offence' at the name.
All I can say is EA do your research before doing, below common sense, things. You fail to stop people buying and using cheats from the internet, in games, yet you choose too attack someone for a username that is a commonly used phrase in Australia used by the media very regularly in this country.
I have taken severe offence at your degree of censorship! You failed to undertake a simple internet search. This indicates to me you are employing people with no worldy skills or experience, or any ability to conduct a simple test/search. How far below commone sense is that?
Check out the below web address. Strewth mate you people need to apologise to the user you forced to change name, and allow it to be reinstated. I just can't believe how unintelligent this is.
Look up the Australian National University, School of Literature and Linguistics web site and Check out the work 'Strewth" because I know you people will not know what it means, the same as you do no know what BananaBender means. Let me know when you have come to your senses. I want an apology because you have insulted me and every other Queenslander.
