I got really excited earlier when I saw that I had some Seabreeze mail.

A dude from Caringbah in Sydney wrote to me and told me that I was "a full blown GRONK".

Is this a compliment?

Please help.

I doubt it was a compliment.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gronk

Made wose by the fact that the sayer was from Caringhbah

It's not in the dictionary, but I vaguely recall that the noise made when a scab falls off a festering arsehole and hits the gound it's commonly refered to as a "Caringhbah", but I could be mistaken.

Thanks for the info fellas.

It appears that it may not be a compliment after all, and I was so excited.

Oh well, I will just keep trying.

I thought perhaps that a GRONK might have been a big strong powerful being that did good for others, maybe not.

No Mac, I don't.

Age old problem I think. Some people can't deal with things or people that are different.

Been different for 60 yet as too old to change now.

I also found this.
"Among the artists who defined what is known as the Chicano art movement in L.A. is a painter who goes by the name Gronk."
I think he called you an American-born Mexican artist.
That's nice.

Gronk, I'd say a word used by hipsters.


Hipster....better known as a cock head.
