Description

What is your problem if you are ringled to a flazzard?

When is Chewidden Day? How might you get out of the langle? Why is going for a dacker a quite innocent activity in one place, but something rather more lewd elsewhere?

Words, Words, Words probes lexicography, dialect, sexual practices, sport and social history to create a humorous and informative guide to some of the more bizarre byways of the English language.

If you've ever had trouble telling your etymology from your entomology, this is the book for you.
