The author has collected over a thousand words, idioms and expressions, often unique and humorous, originating from the Herzegovinian city of Mostar and included the explanation of their meaning and/or usage. Many original expressions were inspired by its inhabitants and local situations:

usta k'o Tokica pekara; napet k'o Mujini tregeri; glava k'o Rondo; vodati se k'o Jure i Neda; objesicemo zube o čiviluk; pala muha na međeda; jedan se oteg'o, drugi se proteg'o; taj ti vjetar čorbu hladio; cafetli; dočekusa; krmeljusa ...

... tek su neki od preko hiljadu riječi i izraza - često saljivih bisera mostarske mudrosti - sakupljenih za ovo izdanje. Ova ce knjiga, kao svjedok jednog govora i doba, neke čitaoce podsjetiti, neke nasmijati, a posebno mlađim generacijama u dijaspori, posluziti kao dodatni izvor informacija o (nesuđenom) rodnom gradu.
