My mom just finished a book called _Oscar and Lucinda_, by Peter Carey, who is Australian. It takes place in Australia. She was looking at the back of the book, which had a glossary with different terms. One was this:

mohawk: a colloquial term for a late Regency/early Victorian "Hooray Henry".

Well...glossaries are all very nice, they help explain words one doesn't understand or know...but what if you can't understand the definition?
