Booka Lingo My brother is a TBA - True Blue Aussie bloke with a broad Aussie accent. When he went to Disney Land Americans, so fascinated by his accent and word use, followed him around goading him to speak - he was more the attraction than Mickey Mouse! Occasionally I do stand-up story telling shows. At one show an English lady came up and said she loved the larrikin content but didn't understand my 'lingo'. So I thought it worthwhile to record our language - I listened to people and jotted down words and phrases in my note book, on the palm of my hand and on livestock waybill pads. There are nearly 700 items listed. The inspiration for this book came from servicemen and women who wrote their stories and poems during World War 11. The Khaki and Brown is a collection of these writings. Their language is my language and in a way this book is about keeping it alive. Burrabooka OUTBACK Australia is my fiction crime/action/adventure series and it is written in Booka Lingo. Have you ever been to Burrabooka? Good luck trying to find it. But should you find it - this dictionary will help you blend in - because the Burrabooka locals all speak Booka Lingo! Cheers Tom Penna
