A zany yokel called Goober conducts his fellow Americans on a far-ranging but introspective jaunt through their own informal speech and everyday jargon. Foreigners are invited to tag along with the promise of gaining insight into the mysteries of the American way of speaking. Let The Goob take you on a wacky tour of the spoken American street! Climb aboard this exposé-cum-guidebook for a merry romp through our everyday lingo. See how jolly it is to poke good-natured fun at the way we talk! This ain’t what our English teachers taught us! Not by a long shot!

Crack the cover and you won’t need cajoling to dive right into the first page-turner exposé of our native tongue! And try to find the two misspellings! The clue to one is "a king" and the clue to the other is "into the future." And when you're finished? Son of a gun! There was some pretty good book-larnin' in there!

By saying he is a zany yokel, the polar opposite of a pedantic English instructor!

By pointing to the magic of speaking up to the reader, not down at the reader!

The Goob sez: Even literary agents could find this book useful!
