4.0 out of 5 stars
A light chinwag,
By Linda Fridley (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lingo: Listening to Australian English (Paperback)
Seal follows his opening quote "Think with the wise but talk with the vulgar". I found this book magnetic. I picked it up because it was relevant to my univesity degree, but it's content is also personally interesting and entertaining. This book is not for those who prefer their literature sanitised. Seal lists in detail Australianisms that underlie modern folklore, and swearing, profanity and a healthy disdain for authority are basic to that lore. Australian language is shown here to be so much more than English.
