Description:




Australian slang unites the true blue and the dinky-di and separates the cheeky little possums from the happy little Vegemites. In this attractive new pictorial guide, readers will learn to distinguish their drongos from their dropkicks and discover where our unique vernacular comes from.

Discover the connection between bludgers and pimps, drongos and a winless horse. Aussie slang tells us much about our history; in this book are words that have evolved from Indigenous languages, the dialects of the British Isles and the names, catchphrases and peccadillos of Australian celebrities.

Alongside the fascinating etymological information are striking images from the National Library’s vast Pictures Collection — used to great humorous effect in illustrating the slang words and phrases—and commentaries by H.G. Nelson, the man who, together with Rampaging Roy Slaven, brought the world the ‘battered sav’, the ‘hullo boys’ and the 'spinning date’, all gymnastics moves that need little further explanation.

A mix of traditional and modern slang, in a fresh design, this guide will educate and entertain readers, and tickle their funny bones.

I bought these shoes with plans to take photos with my son for Christmas. It was last minute and these really impressed. Other places were charges $20+ more than the rate here on Amazon. They fit true to size. They Look super nice and sleek and got the job done.

You get what you pay for
Size: 13, Color: Black
First thing I noticed when unboxing was the Strong plastic smell coming out of the shoe I tried them on and Shoe runs small I bought size 13 and it was way to tight I ended up giving them to a co worker that use size 12 and fit him perfectly, he started walking and the rubber sole was leaving black marks all over the tile floor you could see exactly where he was stepping and left a trail he literally used them for less than 1 hr and ended up throwing them away, definitely you get what you pay for. Reminds me of payless shoes, cheap smelly plastic shoes.
