A Dumbass By Any Other Name

My Aussie friend (and awesome productivity speaker) Neen James posted the following tweet on twitter:

“Aussie slang: drongo – a stupid, inept, awkward or embarrassing person, a dimwit or slow-witted person”

I love it! Can you say, “dumb ass?”

I may have to work the word “drongo” into future posts. If you know of other synonyms for “dumb ass” or “drongo” post them in the comments – especially if they are foreign words or slang!

(Note: keep it PG/PG-13. If it would make it past the FCC on US TV, then it’s all good…)

By the way, you should follow Neen on twitter. She posts daily productivity tips and useful info to make your day better!
