(Australia, slang) A person from South Australia.
In those days we would play the Croweaters on a Tuesday night over in Adelaide.
Origin: From . Early settlers in South Australia were alleged to have eaten the breast meat of crows, parrots and cockatoos when there was a shortage of red meat. The term entered the lexicon in the late 1800s. (Alternatively, "crow" is a butcher's term for mesentery, an otherwise little-eaten tripe.).
