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!

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and
was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Awesome issues here. I am very glad to peer your article.
Thanks so much and I’m taking a look ahead
to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
