Description
This collection features scores of unique words from history that deal with surprisingly modern issues like sleeping in and procrastination - proving that some things never change!
The Little Book of Lost Words presents each term that’s ready to be brought back into modern-day use, complete with definition, hilarious sample sentence, and cheeky historical art. You’ll learn new words for the cozy room where you like to Netflix and chill (snuggery), for a dishonest politician (snollygoster), and for a young person who sleeps through the day and doesn’t work (dewdropper).
If you like Lost in Translation, Shakespeare Insult Generator, Drunk History, and Roald Dahl - and you delight in the way words like blatteroon and flapdoodle roll off the tongue - then you’re the word lover this book was written for. Want to know what a fizgig or groke is? Read this book!
