Kenthurst, Australia: Kangaroo Press. New. 1994. First Edition. Paperback. 0864175884 . Unread, minimal shelf wear. Australians do speak English, but the way they speak it puzzles the visitor, English-speaking or otherwise. The Australian language is allusive. Its linguistic landscape is crowded with phantoms, pseudonyms, noms the plume, fabulous places and personifications. Very confusing! This book was written to catalog the confusion. It is an alphabetical listing of names and expressions peculiar to Australia. An easy to read collection of humor where colloquial speech is preferred to 'correct' English. Who is Buckley? Is he a member of the White Shoe Brigade, the Blue-Rinse Set, or part of the Yellow Peril? Could you buy Bull's wool from a Balmain Basketweaver for a brass razoo? And why isn't Woop Woop in the postcode book? A Fantastic Australian is an imaginary person or place that exists in the Australian English only: Bullamakanka, Cock-Eye Bob, Bunyip. Other words are real things or real people: bulljoe and billycart, the bodgie and the Balmain Basketweaver. Includes bibliography. ; 112 pages .
