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.

Not perfect, at times it is a bit rambly but overall an entertaining listen. Some sections had me laughing out loud as I journeyed on my morning walk, walking along with a huge smile like a bit of a boofhead. Will appreciate listening to this again in the future.

Enjoyable listen

Honestly, if you’re in a good mood, bad mood, anxious, depressed, drunk or just finished a 5km run, this book will lift your spirits to the next level. Even in the background you can’t help but be drawn in to grin at the familiarities and humour. Best audiobook I’ve listened to in ages.

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.

Excellent
