  • WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons

Gabriel Willie (best known as Bush Tucker Bunjie) is on a quest to find the best curse words in the hundreds of First Nations' languages across Australia. This clip from No Offence! depicts Gabe chatting with community leader Sloane, who runs a male yarning circle in Brisbane. Along with teaching a great word, Sloane imparts how language can be a powerful tool for emotional expression.

While Sloane unpacks the nuances of the Ugarapul term 'wunguul', bright slapstick animation aids audience recall while keeping things cheeky. The light tone and laidback atmosphere allow the two men to talk freely about what language means to them. Sloane shares first-hand reflections about the damage of bottling up speech and the healing experience of reconnecting with language.

Blending humour with education, the clip shows how even something as commonplace as insults can lead to cultural and emotional insights.
