Correct.
I have learned so much from this resource, it feels good to give a little bit back.
Ranga is a term of endearment for red heads. It is a shortened form of the word "Orangutan", that big orange haired monkey/ape.
Of course my caption was a little bit tongue in cheek and actually my wifes "current" hair colour some might has a shade of red to it, I prefer to think it is more Cabernet coloured.

That's funny Pat.
I generally don't like generalizations either. And that one that red heads tend to be quick tempered, is also a generalization, obviously.
Ask your wife if she is familar with other terms of endearment here in Australia for red heads?

Bluey- which is the opposite of red.
But our flavour of the month here is definitely "ranga", I think they may even have a National Red Head/Ranga day now.
