Wherever you find yourself: at the kitchen table, at the bar, at work, in the bedroom, or playing sport: here are the iconic phrases and clever amorphisms to make you blend in and stand out. Speaking proper-like in S' traya does not mean the Queen' s English. Certain words and phrases capture the heart of a place in a way that upstanding vowels and consonants just can' t. Slang in the land of Oz is a tasty sandwich of humour and metaphor; and this book will have you taking a bite. From geography to family, dating to drinking, work to play, here' s how to speak like a true native. You' ll never be lost for words, mates or drinking partners after the first chapter, then there' s seven more to go.
David Andrew is an inveterate traveller and responsibility avoider thathas spent decades exploring Oz and further afield. Having come toground somewhere on Australia' s east coast - with a long spell of rainpredicted, and finding a ballpoint and pad handy - it was time to get itall down. The result was the Dave' s book series; he is also the authorof Dave' s Book of Aussie Drinking Games.
