'A Dingo's Breakfast: A Guide to Aussie Lingo' takes an entertaining but informative look at Australia's unique expressions. Rather than a 'serious' dictionary, the book is an amusing and light-hearted collection of words and phrases relating to subjects as varied as people, places, occupations, organisations, activities, food, alcohol, and drinking, flora and fauna -- in short, virtually all aspects of Australian life.
Organised alphabetically, the book also includes feature lists covering such varied themes as: Acronyms and abbreviations, great Aussie inventions, nicknames and diminutives, indispensable pub language, Aboriginal words in common use, unique Aussie brand names, sporting terminology, and rhyming slang.
