This crime-fighting story amused me.
It's kind enough to explain what "daggy" means, but not "hoons". I
assume it's short for hooligans. And it's my new favourite word.

OK, that's Hoons dealt with, but what sort of music do we need to play to get rid of Blairs, Browns and Prescotts?

Hoon can also be a verb - you
can hoon around in your modified Subaru WRX if that's what tickles your fancy.
God, I've lived in Sydney far too long ...
