Overview
Here is a book that offers a rich sampling of strange - but always entertaining - words and terms. Few of us are familiar with even a fraction of the 400,000 words in an unabridged dictionary. Between the rudimentary vocabularies of all English speakers and the specialized lexicons of the professionals are thousands of little-known or oft-forgotten words, terms still used in popular literature for their richness, concision and particular appropriateness.Book Details
