How to ditch your fairy.
Ok: this post is targeted at the Australians on my flist...
I just read How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier (wife of Scott Westerfeld).
The book had a lot of odd slang in it. Now, I know that Scott Westerfeld likes to make up a lot of slang etc. for his books, but I don't know how to tell if his wife is doing it as well, or if some of the stuff she is using is just Australian slang I don't know. -_-
So, if any of you get a chance to read this book, please enlighten me!!
It's a fun read, with a pretty unique setup, and it would take 1-2 days to get through. If I could remember more of the slang, I would just post about it. The only one I remember clearly is "spoffs" in place of "breasts." I don't have the book anymore either (had to return it to work) so I can't flip through it to find more.
