The editor of Meanjin, Jim Davidson, adds a footnote: 'acca (slightly derogatory) 1, noun An academic rather than an intellectual, particularly adept at manipulating trendiologies, usually with full scholarly apparatus. The abbreviation first appears in Meanjin (Melbourne, 1977), where Canberra historian Ken Inglis has an article titled 'Accas and Ockers: Australia's New Dictionaries'. We trust that Edmund Weiner and John Simpson did not take a citation, since the Australian abbreviation of academic is not acco but acca (sometimes spelt acker). I hoped, after I left, they would enter it on one of their little slips and add it to their gigantic compost heap - a candidate for admission to the next edition. I asked if they were familiar with the Oz usage 'acco', meaning 'academic'. But not all -o words were Australian, said Simpson : eg 'aggro' and 'cheapo'. Australians used the -o suffix a lot, he reflected. Something to spice stuff up.įor the US, you could have the Nisei, annd an airborne unit.Michael Davie in 'Going from A to Z forever' (an article on the 2nd edition of the Oxford English Dictionary), Age, Saturday Extra, 1 April 1989, writes of his visit to the dictionary section of Oxford University Press:īefore I left, Weiner said he remembered how baffled he had been the first time he heard an Australian talk about the 'arvo'. But maybe add Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager unit skins, Wehrmacht mountain troops, Afrika Corps, or even Finnish or Hungarian/Romanian skins. I mean I don't particularly care about SS skins, I get that they might not allow that. So i don't think there will be any ss type skins. They legit removed the ss symbol off the okw base's fuel cans as an update after they abondoned the game. I know there's already a lot of DLC for the game, what are y'alls thoughts? Lol, they're trying to keep this game sjw friendly. Just something that would add variety to the game. Maybe an SS skin for the Germans, or an Indian or scottish set of skins for the Brits. I think it would be kind of cool if they had different skins for infantry units, maybe as a DLC, or maybe as drops after games.
