I used to play one of those when I was a kid but, I used rubber bands instead of string.  Kind of like a guitar with no neck made out of a shoebox.  Anyone else ever do that or am I alone here? I'd say the person needs to learn how to spell. I'm not an English wizard or anything but I can spell "steering".

Sure - I play banjo, which is pretty much the same thing. Well, with a neck. If you jam a stick through the shoebox, then it's the same.

It's a contraction, I suppose. Like the language they speak Down Under. Some sort of variant of English called "Strine".
