About this listen

 Have you ever bunged it on?
Behaved like a drongo?
Added mayo to a story?
Lost your Reg Grundies?

Join bestselling storyteller William McInnes as he offers his own take on our colourful and colloquial way with words. From the simpler times of childhood to today's testing (and unprecedented!) times, or when we're wasting time, enjoying sporting times or hitting the big time, Australians have a turn of phrase for every situation. Our love of plain speaking communicates the essence of the thing to our mates, to those in the know - and to those who should know better.

Part memoir, part manifesto, this warm, witty, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny collection will have you thinking about what you say, how you say it and what that really says about us as a nation.

I enjoy all of Williams' books. This was no different. A very enjoyable listen with each chapter telling a great story. His narration of his own work really adds to the book.

Just what I was after, a good yarn to put a smile on my face and have a chuckle. Half way through I was enjoying it so much I started his Christmas one, fitting for the time of the year. Never bothered with Christmas books before but I love his story telling.

A good yarn told by a great bloke
