I had to break out the dictionary. "Barrack" is an Australian saying which means "to shout support for a team."

Interesting that it is also a British saying "to jeer or shout at a player, speaker or team."

So the Brits and Ozzies us the word to mean exactly the opposite of the other.


Never heard that one before.
