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?
Hi! Quick question that’s entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able
to resolve this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Many thanks!
What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this web site daily, this web page is
in fact nice and the viewers are really sharing pleasant thoughts.
Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to
get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be
enormously appreciated!
Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment
form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!
I am genuinely grateful to the holder of this site who has
shared this enormous paragraph at at this place.
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to help
with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but
I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any
please share. Thanks!
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
It’s always exciting to read through articles from other authors and
practice something from their web sites.
I quite like reading a post that can make men and women think.
Also, many thanks for allowing for me to comment!

Link exchange is nothing else however it is simply
placing the other person’s website link on your
page at suitable place and other person will also do similar for
you.
