no real redneck will ever use such a word no matter how pukka it is.

Hi Jim

Glad to see you in the forums today.  Interesting sentence.

Does this mean you are a pukka redneck?

thanks Jim

Hey Bj,
I got it! We are all pukkas. So do pakkas cook pukkas? (Yikes!)

Pukka is a very pommie word from early last century - round the first world war era.  It was used mainly by the poms when they were in India.  Pukka sahib is a phrase that comes to mind.  Means 'genuine master' or 'proper gentleman'.

Oh and for those that don't understand "Strine' 'pommie' is Strine for Englishman and 'poms' = several English people....
