[edit] Etymology
Mention the etymology of drongo. Jidanni (talk) 08:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
"Drong" is also Irish Gaelic for "gang", may be related given the influence of Irish in Australian history. Also the history of Anglo-Irish relations in Australia (and elsewhere) could account for its evolution into a pejorative term. This is speculation, though.
