- 1793, Watkin Tench, A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson:
- Their general favourite term of reproach is ‘goninpatta’, which signifies ‘an eater of human excrement’. Our language would admit a very concise and familiar translation. They have, besides this, innumerable others which they often salute their enemies with.
- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
