Welcome back to the Aussie English podcast!

In today's Sunday episode, I am going to talk about the English expression "be on a roll".

We are not going to roll on the ground for this!

I will be breaking down the meaning of the words in this phrase, and tell you about its origin - yes, like rolling dice!

Listen closely for a bonus English expression: get to the bottom of things - I'll be giving a short explanation of this English idiom!

There will be example situations given so you'd know when you can use this expression.

I will also be answering a question from Luciana and she asks what Australians think of immigrants.

And lastly, get your pen & paper ready and try to catch the exact words in this short clip from the classic Australian cult film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Let me know what you think about this episode! Drop me a line at pete@aussieenglish.com.au
