[Healeys] Fwd: FW: Manyana

[Keith Taylor]

Ode to the Austin Healey Restorer



.

Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on UK television with British TV host
Anne Diamond
He used the word "*manyana*" (pronounced "man -yana").
Diamond asked him to explain what it meant.
He said that the term means:
"
*Maybe the job will be done tomorrow; Maybe the next day; Maybe the day
after that; Or perhaps next week; Next month; Next year. Who really cares?"
*
The host turned to Albert Yatapingu from the Gumbaingeri Tribe who was also
on the show. She asked him if there was an equivalent term in--Oz.

"No” he replied...  . *Australians don't have a word to describe that level
of urgency."*
