"Why is it called a 'boomerang' though? How did it get it's name...Did someone suddenly have an epiphany of; 'I shall maketh this device and herbyeth call it boomerang' and just like that we have the boomerang.. " The origin of the term is uncertain. One source asserts that the term entered the language in 1827, adapted from an extinct Aboriginal language of New South Wales, Australia, but mentions a variant, wo-mur-rang, which it dates to 1798. | |||

" No doubt the experts will be along to tell all. My notion is that the word has its origins in the native language of the indigenous people who used this tool in their daily lives. Am I in a parallel universe or did I just post something remotely sensible. Wonders will never cease  | |||
