is it true that kangaroo means i don't know
passage · full text (520 characters)
A common myth about the kangaroo's English name is that ``kangaroo'' was a Guugu Yimithirr phrase for ``I don't understand you.'' According to this legend, Cook and Banks were exploring the area when they happened upon the animal. They asked a nearby local what the creatures were called. The local responded ``Kangaroo'', meaning ``I don't understand you'', which Cook took to be the name of the creature. This myth was debunked in the 1970s by linguist John B. Haviland in his research with the Guugu Yimithirr people.
