Q: What is a Bonza Sheila??
A: Bonza Sheila is Australian slang for a wonderful girl, or a girlfriend
Bonza:
adjective:- great, excellent
Sheila
noun:- a common term for an Australian female, usually single and
probably good looking. It probably originated from the high number of
female immigrants from Ireland called Sheelagh.
Bonza sheila is a well known though rather archaic Australian slang term to describe a desirable and attractive lady; being called a bonza sheila a compliment!... Someone very dear to me, an Australian, dubbed me Bonza Sheila several years ago. I was absolutely delighted with the appellation, so when I decided to create a website and started searching for a good domain name, I was very surprised that http://www.bonzasheila.com was available. It's not easy to get a top level .com domain that is such a well known phrase, as well as being catchy, interesting, and easy to remember. It was perfect! I immediately purchased the domain, and thus BonzaSheila.com came to be.
If you'd like a list of more Australian slang terms, I'd suggest this one, and my personal recommendation based on experience of what is trickier to pick up if you're visiting Down Under: a list of Australian acronyms and abbreviations.
