Did you know that an assassin is a hashish-eater and
a yokel a country woodpecker? That Dr Mesmer mesmerised
patients back to health or that Samuel Pepys enjoyed a
good game of handicap? While we're at it, what have
spondulics to do with spines or lawyers with avocados?
In ''It's a Wonderful Word'', bestselling author Albert
Jack collects over 500 of the strangest,
funniest-sounding and most delightful words in the
English language, and traces them back to their often
puzzling origins. While brushing up on your gibberish or
gobbledygook, discover why bastards should resent
travelling salesmen, why sheets should remain on
tenterhooks and why you should never set down a tumbler
before finishing your drink. From blotto to bamboozle
and from claptrap to quango, Albert Jack's addictive
anecdotes bring the world's most colourful language to
life and are guaranteed to surprise and
entertain. |
