Chuck a U-ey
Tim RossChuck a U-ey (verb)
Present tense, Australian vernacular; expression meaning to carry out a U-turn while driving a motor vehicle. Origins go back to the early 1970s.
Australians tend only to add -ey to words describing something they love. And Australians love cars. Aside from the A-to-B solution in a land of sweeping plains and dual carriageways, our cars are nicely parked in our memories. Chuck a U-ey is a pictorial road trip celebrating Australia’s relationship with its four-wheeled friend.
Once again, Tim has partnered with the National Archives of Australia to uncover a treasure trove of evocative images that show our enduring love for automobiles.
