Hey keberoxu, I took the "gal" as a compliment because the word "gal" in Aussie slang is short for galvanised steel:
"Galvanised steel is steel hot-dipped in a zinc coating solution. This coat provides additional protection against corrosion and surface scratches. This type of steel is used in harsh conditions, including marine applications and construction environments where temperatures can reach up to 200 degrees celsius."
