The Lingo Dictionary: Of Favourite Australian Words and Phrases (Large Print 16pt)

by John Miller

Overview

It's been donkey's years, yonks, in fact, since a book as cack-yourself funny as this one has landed. You'll be like a cockie looking down a biscuit tin when you see this little beauty, and best of all, you won't need to part with a grey nurse to own your own little piece of Australiana. Got no idea what we're on about? Then you'd better have a gander. Don't hang five; you'd be a gronk to miss out! The Lingo Dictionary is a warts-and-all look at the notoriously hilarious (and occasionally obscene) Australian slang words and phrases, casting light on the quirky, intriguing and often bizarre Aussie language. A must-have for every bookshelf!
