Some years back Southern Squid was just that - Southern Squid. The calamari bit, which is the Italian plural for squid came into vogue sometime in the 70/80s probably by some wanky restaurant trying to make it sound more exotic, as most Aussies at that time used to recoil in horror at the thought that anyone would actually eat 'the bait'. So in effect what we are now calling it, is Southern Squids Squid which I find a bit ridiculous to say the least.
