The word Dinkum originates from Australia. It expresses honesty
and authenticity. The word, however, is rarely used by itself
but is mostly found in the expression 'fair dinkum'. The expression
roughly translates to 'genuine'. Some examples probably tell more:
|
| Q: Are you fair dinkum ?
|
A: You bet I am, I'm telling you the truth !
|
| Q: Is it true what you're telling me ?
|
A: Yeah, fair dinkum mate !
|
Dinkum Technology's d-logo
is inspired by
"Banumbirr the Morning Star",
a painting by the aboriginal artist Jack Wunuwun.
If you are interested in
Aboriginal art, you might want to visit the
Aboriginal Art Musem in Utrecht,
the Netherlands, which has an excellent collection of various kinds
of Aboriginal artwork and provides very useful explanations and
background information.
