| 词汇 | galah |
| 词源 | galah. An Australian Aboriginal language gives us this name for the Australian cockatoo (Kakatoe roseicapilla) with its rose- colored underside. Because the bird’s incessant raucous call makes it seem foolishly talkative, Australians have made its name a synonym for fool, as in “He made a galah of himself.” |
