WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE OR A LOT ABOUT AUSTRALIA?
WANT TO BE AN HONORARY AUSSIE?
STONE THE CROWS!
What's the go with Oz?
People just don't get it.
Are you the same?
In Bill 'Scratch' Cunningham's Latest book he will introduce you to :
Budgie smugglers (men’s' swimming briefs)
- A cat's eye = sausage roll; meat packet cylindrical covered with pastry.
- 'Aye, don’t come the raw prawn' = STOP talking shit.
- 'av’ a go ya mug'= come on get into whatever you are doing.
The latter, for example, is commonly used in sports or even at work. Use: at a cricket match when the scoring is slow = 'av a go ya mug' to speed things up!
Do you struggle to get your head around the Australian way of doing things and moreover the way they actually say things?
Well cobber, settle down. You just need to grab a sanga or sausage sizzle, wash it down with some neck oil and chillax. It's no use rushing on the tucker as you don't want to chunder. And remember to go easy on the three cheers you don't want to look like a wally if you over indulge.
Firstly, to understand a little bit of the why and what for of the Aussie way of doing things you probably need to consider some relaxation time.
So, here's an idea ...
Why not now head down to the beach to watch the world go by? But watch=out for the after darks! It will probably be a ‘beaut’ arvo with an optic never or two as the good bodies walk on by. Don't forget your thongs it's Summer and it's hot out. Blokes don't forget the budgie smugglers. Now, lay out the farmer's plough and take it all in.You know, up the line they don't get much time to do this but when they get a chance to hit the big smoke their brains run amok looking at what city folk get up to. Unless you have a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock there is no way you wouldn't enjoy down under with all the scenery (and the beach is just one type). There's heap more. Hit the frog and toad, go out west, or hit the bush and simply people watch, take in some adventures and abuse the climate ... and you can't lose.
But hold onto your nuts. You will soon realise that Australians are unique. Although you may encounter a few bogans and tall poppy's overall the chance to blend in with people from ambos and garbos to musos and poli's will delight you especially when you realise there's a whole new world out there (right-here) and full of colourful language to boot. But hold on don't spit the dummy with what lay ahead, please don't go off like frog in a sock. Fair dinkum it's not an insurmountable task to take it all in. You have plenty of time to learn the lingo and understand the Australian way of life!
So, what I'm saying is give me just some of your reason and rhyme and we can solve the dilemma.
Get it?
Got it?
No?
Ah ... Well ... Good!Now, YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHAT ALL THIS MEANS BUT, I GUARANTEE BY THE END OF THIS BOOK YOU WILL!
And you will learn just a little about what makes the average Aussie tick just for shits and giggles as well!!
You WILL LEARN:... A brief History of Australia – Cuisine to politics to sports to arts to fashion and crafts and famous Aussies!... The AUSSIE lingo (language) – everything from A to Z ... How to SPEAK like an AUSSIE in 12 EASY ways
Aussie words and their meaning!
And SO much more!!
Bill 'Scratch' Cunningham has lived in Australia all his life – outback Australia that is. He has been a bush expert for over 40 years extending his research into ‘Australianisms’. He has a fascination in natural flora and fauna and solving the most obstinate of problems facing human beings with simple but powerful solutions from all thing’s pests to pets. He LOVES AUSTRALIA.
