Banana, a fruta mais consumida e perigosa do mundo


(Adaptado de Sergio Augusto, O Estado de S. Paulo, 26/04/2008)
I know what it means, ie Queenslander, but I don't understand if it really implies that the bananas grown in Queensland are straight and have therefore to be bent. I found this information in a couple of websites (eg http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/HAMPSHIRELIFE/2001-12)... yet I suspect it is a joke. Thanks a lot in advance.
Just a thought − John Explanation: Hi John,
Since you already know that this is indeed a slang term for a Queenslander, and that it is in fact a joke and probably a racial slur, I was thinking it may be referring to a pointless act. As far as I know all bananas are already bent, so to be a banana bender is foolish and unnecessary. Let's suppose that the bananas in Queensland do grow straight. Why on Earth would someone want to bend them? If the expression is meant to be an "insult" it's probably suggesting that a Queenslander is silly enough to attempt to bend a banana This is just a simple guess. Peter
