Get started learning strine, the unique language of s'traya, with this handy guide. You're a bee's dick away from becoming a cheeky little possum.
The UK and Australia have much in common . . . systems of government, love of cricket, even an alphabet. But how they use the ABCs is very different.
That's why you need this book.
Australia and the UK are two nations divided by a single language. When the Queen's English is chopped and sliced, its meanings cut and pasted: nothing is cut and dried.
But no wuckas, it doesn't have to be hard yakka getting up to speed on Strine. On ya for getting started. Have a captain cook (a look) around this handy guide and soon you'll be exchanging g'days with S'traya's Territorians, apple islanders and banana benders.
You'll know that an offie is a 'bottle-o', a laptop is a 'lappy' and a tea break is a 'smoke-o'. You'll learn to distinguish 'pissing down' from a 'piss-up', and 'noah's arks' from 'shark biscuits'. You'll be able to sit down with a pot - or a middie or schooner - in a 'rubbedy' (a pub), and get on with the locals like a house on fire, rather than drinking with the flies.
