Let's welcome back the brilliant bestselling author of The Ship that Never Was, Adam Courtenay!

Adam is back on the podcast as he talks about his latest book Three Sheets to the Wind.

It's about a band of merchant seamen who had to walk hundreds of miles across Sydney to save 7000 gallons of rum.

But it's a beautiful tale about brave men and how language barriers are overcome when one needs help.

Imagine English-speaking men who communicated with different indigenous tribes, trying to get where they need to be.

And finally, you also get a trip down historic Australia! It's a truly great read!

Happy Sunday, you guys! Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!
Today's expression is "over my dead body".
No, I am not going to die! No one's going to die, no worries.
This expression is widely used in English literature, as its meaning connotes a very strong "NO"!
As usual, we will break down the meaning of the words in the expression. I will also give example situations where you can use the expression "over my dead body".
I will also answer a question from IG follower the.chileno.way who asks "Do you say 'sit at a computer' or 'sit on a computer'?"
And finally, don't forget to download this episode's FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the Australian movie Brothers Nest. Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!

July 20, 2022 AE 1159 - Pete's 2c: Can You Guess Which Language 'Kayak' Comes From?
How's your week going so far? Come sit down with me here on Pete's 2c on the Aussie English podcast!
In Pete's 2c episodes, I get on Instagram and answer your awesome questions!
In today's episode, I get to answer questions like where did Australian English come from, or like how Australian English came to be. Someone also asked how did English became a global language.
There were also some questions on English pronunciation like how to say the words "maths", "called" vs "cold", "shoes" vs "issues" and the word "kayaking".
Someone also asked if they can use the word "dedicated" to mean that someone is hardworking and disciplined - I say 'yes' to both!
And finally, someone asked what can be bought as an unusual gift for their grandson's 11th birthday! It's quite tough to answer that question, as I didn't really have much off the top of my mind.
Join me today for a round of casual talking here on Pete's 2c!

How’s the weekend so far, you mob?
In today’s English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast, we are going to talk about the expression “get wind of something”.
It sounds like we’re going to catch the ‘wind’ here but not really!
I will break down the meaning of the words in this phrase and give you the meaning of “get wind of something”.
I will be giving out sample situations where you can put this expression to use, along with a pronunciation exercise.
Tune in for the question of the week which is “What is the difference of ON time and IN time?”
And lastly, whip out your pens and paper and try to catch the dialogue from the Australian movie Crocodile Dundee 2.

Welcome to another Goss episode here on the Aussie English podcast!
I found this online article about restaurants in Queensland banning people from entering their establishments if they have facial or neck tattoos.
It sort of triggers Australians as people start to take sides. Some say that it’s good to have the ban because people find such tattoos offensive, while others rave that there shouldn’t be discrimination because these are paying customers.
So, where do we draw the line on having visible body tattoos?
What if it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, a client makes a reservation, and turns up at the place with tattoos all over? Would they run the client off?
We wonder if they associated having tattoos with violent bikie gangs. But we all know not all tattooed people are nutters. How can someone tell?
Join us today for another round of casual talks here on The Goss!
