Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

(Australia, slang) A person from Queensland.
An Australian informal term for a person from Queensland, playing on Queensland's reputation as a banana-growing state and its warm tropical climate. Used mostly in friendly inter-state ribbing rather than as a serious insult. Australians routinely coin similar state-based nicknames, and bananalander fits squarely in that long tradition of good-natured geographic teasing. The term is used with enough regularity that most Australians recognize it immediately, even if they wouldn't use it themselves without knowing the person well.
