FROM THE DUST JACKET: "A FEW YEARS AGO, JOHN O'GRADY WROTE A BOOK CALLED AUSSIE ENGLISH. HIS IDEA WAS TO HELP NEWCOMERS TELL A RINGER FROM A RING-IN, A COCKATOO FROM A GALAH, A BLUE FROM A BLUEY, AND TO INTRODUCE THE REAL MEANING OF A GREETING SUCH AS "HULLO, Y'OLD BASTARD.' NATURALLY THE BOOK WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, BUT OVER 100,000 READERS WERE LEFT IN A QUANDRY. THEY HAD MASTERED THE LANGUAGE, BUT HOW COULD THEY LEARN TO USE IT CORRECTLY IN DAY-TO-DAY SITUATIONS? THEY ASKED, 'IS THERE AN ETIQUETTE (OR ETIKET) FOR DOING THINGS THE AUSSIE WAY?' THERE IS INDEED AN AUSSIE WAY OF SAYING AND DOING THINGS, AND LIKE THE PROVERBIAL KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR (WITH A FEW CLARET STAINS ON IT PERHAPS), JOHN O'GRADY COMES TO THEIR RESCUE WITH AUSSIE ETIKET. ARMED WITH THIS FORMIDABLE WEAPON THEY CAN NOW MEET THE CHALLENGE OF THE ETIKET DEMANDED AT BARBECUES, CHRISTENINGS, FOOTBALL MATCHES (ALL CODES), PUBS, WEDDINGS, AND WINE TASTINGS; WHEN FISHING, MOTORING, PICNICKING, OR PLAYING THE POKIIES. THESRE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THE 'OCCASIONS' COVERED IN THE BOOK. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING COP ETIKET. NEVER, NEVER APPROACH A COPY AND SAY, 'HOW ARE YER, Y'OLD BASTARD?' SO, HERE IT IS, JOHN O'GRADY'S AUSSIE ETIKET, AN EXTREMELY AMUSING MIXTURE OF GONGUE-IN-CHEEKS AND HELPFUL INFORMATION, WITH BRILLIANT ASSISTANCE FROM FRANK BENIER."
