Sinopsis
The English language is full of beauty and surprises.
If youre a lover of the weird and wonderful, from fascinating etymology to the ten most overused and useless English phrases, this book isnt averse to a peppering of persiflage!
Did you know:
- pilots and air traffic controllers at major air international airports have to speak English
- the hashtag symbol is an "octothorpe"
- "bumfiddle" means to spoil a piece of paper or document
- the word "noon" originally meant 3pm; the literal meaning of "bamboozle" is to make a baboon out of someone.
This book contains a boatload of things you didnt know about the English language and its a guaranteed prolix-free zone.
