Dog’s Eye and Dead Horse: The Complete Guide to Australian Rhyming Slang $13.99 Its much more fun to say Whats the John Dory? instead of Whats the story? and Give me a Captain Cook instead of Give me a look and wonderfully cheeky to remark Who made the apple tart? instead of Who made a fart? But there is also a darker side to rhyming slang – it can be used like a secret code (perhaps thats why criminals have always been fond of it!). Since colonial days Australians have used rhyming slang with great style. And as the addition of Britney Spears (beers) goes to show rhyming slang is still very much alive. In DOGS EYE AND DEAD HORSE Graham Seal shares his long-held fascination with this aspect of everyday language. As well as including an A to Z section he groups the rhymes by themes – The body plus its functions its adornments and its afflictions has the most entries. Expect irreverence whimsy and wit. You may be shocked but you will also laugh out loud. |
