Yeah that's the literal translation of the noun but the feminie version Wildesau has an older kind of vernacular meaning as an adjective which could loosley be translated into English as "loose canon." This was used to describe someone who didn't follow the norm or thought outside the box. Roughly speaking anyway.
I have no doubt you are a man to set your own parameters and standards, and from what I can see from your posts, you are happy to think and live outside the square. That's a great part of the world you live in. I lived in Doubleview for a few years in the mid 90's, and regularly traveled through Mundaring to get to Grass Valley (near Northam) to my wife's Aunt and Uncle's place, where they farmed (this is true, not a joke) pigs. The Kalgoorlie pipeline ran through their place. They have since got out of pigs, and now grow olives.

We wouldn`t have any loose cannons on this forum tho. At least , I haven`t seen any.
