Aussie Humour and Slang - Paperback

by Ian McKenzie (Author)

"Black, dry, irreverent, ironic, self-mocking" are all words that have been used to describe Australian humour. This humour is reflected in the unique slang that is used by Aussies. The author has compiled a comprehensive catalogue of Australian colloquialisms and has included not only explanations of their meanings, but in several cases short stories and examples of them.
