Definitions

  1. an Australian boomerang; one side flat and the other convex

Word origin

Uncertain, possibly from kylie (“boomerang”). Originally popular in Australia, the name has gained popularity elsewhere in the English-speaking world due to the fame of Kylie Minogue. Unrelated to Kyle, though often seen as its feminine equivalent.

Used in a sentence

  • Finnley is the fourth daughter of Jason and Kylie Kelce, having already welcomed Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett to the family.
  • Then we drove up to the cricket-ground to see them throw their boomerangs or kylies, which they did very cleverly. One of the kylies was broken against a tree, but most of the others flew with unerring precision.
  • The islanders have discovered that kylies made out of thin iron, such as ship′s tanks, are the most serviceable, and they show great dexterity in making them (see Fig. 6).
