If you don't buy this book you're one chop short of a barbecue!

Is your knowledge of Aussie slang sadly lacking? Are you feeling like a bandicoot on a burnt ridge? And running around like a blue-arsed fly? If so, don't chuck a wobbly, simply take a squiz at John Blackman's Best of Aussie Slang and she'll be apples!

This latest literary triumph from Blackman is the ultimate guide to the lingo of Down Under, known to millions of Australians as 'the voice' of 'Hey Hey, It's Saturday' and the alter ego of Dickie Knee, Blackman defines all the great slang and phrases that confront everyone, everyday, all around Australia. Where words are inadequate, talented cartoonist Andrew Fyfe has let his dark fertile mind run rife with illustrations.

So take a Captain Cook at this little beauty, impress the world with your grasp of the Aussie vernacular and find a special place for this masterpiece in your home - preferably one that doesn't flush!
