Words and Phrases in Afferbeck Lauder

In 1965 a book appeared called Let Stalk Strine, by Professor Afferbeck Lauder, explaining how to speak with an Australian accent.

This guide contained essential phrases such as How much is it?, Glorious home, and How are you going?

These and other useful expressions were translated from Strine into English, and thc book quickly became compulsory.

Readings were conducted in Gloria Soames throughout the civilised world and a great many of the professor's observations were pressed into immediate usage, to general amusement on all sides.

James Hardy Vaux

The Author has found it necessary to introduce frequently in the course of his definitions, technical, or cant words and phrases.
This he could not avoid without much tautology and unpleasing circumlocution.
The Reader will therefore take notice, that all such cant terms are placed in Italics; and where at a loss to comprehend them, he has only to refer to their alphabetical position for an explanation.
