Information AboutShemozzle |
|
According to the book ''Australian Genesis: Jewish Convicts & Settlers 1788 - 1860'', by John S. Levi and G.F.J. Bergman, the word entered Australian slang in the 19th Century as the small local Jewish population grew in visibility. Other Australian slang words originating from the same source are ''cobber'' (friend) and ''shikkered'' (drunk). Schmozzle is also the name of a Melbourne -based Independent Rock group whose website ( {Link without Title} ) describes the following: "Schmozzle is a Melbourne musician who used to be the singer/songwriter/guitar player in 1990s indie rock trio Peachfuzz . Schmozzle’s nerve centre is a Mac running ProTools in a converted garden shed somewhere in the northern suburb of Coburg, near the halal bakeries and Greek cake shops. Schmozzle likes DIY musicians who make sweet sounds with frayed edges, and those who extract new brews from old bones. Plus bands that can rock and sway in the same breath." |
