Synopsis

Collects over 500 of the funniest-sounding and delightful words in the English language, and traces them back to their often puzzling origins. While brushing up on your gibberish or gobbledygook, this book helps you to discover why bastards should resent travelling salesmen and why you should never set down a tumbler before finishing your drink.
