Idk about that one. How a person maintains their suit, tie, shirt, and shoes, says a lot about how meticulous they are as people, and I want an absolutely anal attorney.
That may be usually true, but I don’t know if it’s as good an indicator as you might think it is. I’m extremely pedantic, anal, stubborn and meticulous when it comes to arguing but I rarely dress meticulously - in fact quite the opposite. I’ve also met plenty of people who dress and groom themselves extremely well but couldn’t argue their way into a root in a brothel.
No worries mate! I’m not 100% sure but I’ve been told that it comes from another Aussie slang saying - when something is ‘rooted’ it’s ‘fucked’, meaning that it’s messed up in some way, which comes from how tree roots mess up plumbing/foundation of a house.
If a house is ‘rooted’ then it’s fucked beyond repair, so by extension root = fuck for its other meaning (to have sex).
I’d be happy to have a lawyer in casual attire if it wouldn’t bias the judge and jury against him (or me).

Almost afraid to ask, but, ‘root’?
Aussie slang; root = fuck.
Thanks, learned something new.

A misspelling of “room,” perhaps?
I’ll buy that for $1.
