英语词汇aussie的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	aussie
词源	Aussie. Australians have been called Aussies since about 1895, when the term seems to have been coined by Australians. Aussie became popular worldwide during World War I, as did digger for an Australian soldier, though this last term may have originated during the Australian gold rush in the 1850s. Aus- tralia, of course, has long been called the land down under (along with New Zealand). In contrast, Alaska is sometimes jokingly called the land up over.
