Publisher Description
Australia is often seen as one of the last frontiers of bawdy folklore - probably reflecting the country's 19th century pioneering past as a male-dominated, remote, work hard and play hard society. Cultural historian, Warren Fahey, has been collecting and analysing this material for over 45 years and in this disgusting and hilarious book he explains Australian bawdry in all its sexist, homophobic, ageist and racist glory. In many ways this collection represents past times (before the 'politically correct police' moved in) and a disappearing tradition.
