Hence, if someone drinks, swears, says g'day, loves his footy, dislikes bludgers and bignoters and speaks all sorts of slang, then he is a fair dinkum Aussie. I found this link http://www.anu.edu.au/ANDC/Austwords/bludger which expands on the term, at least as previously used. For better or for worse, the new usage may contaminate the original beyond recognition.
