This is a humourous collection of columns from the "Saturday Telegraph". This work looks at the use and abuse of words in current English language usage. What does "it" mean in "It-girl"? Each entry looks at the history of the word, how it has changed and what it has come to mean.

From the Publisher
Buzz words explained.
Drawn from his much-loved column in the Telegraph, John Morrish's Frantic Semantics is a fascinating look at the words of the moment. Just what is the 'it' in 'It-Girl', how did an 'anorak' become a term of abuse and do you risk offending someone if you call them your 'buddy'? Humorous yet informative, this is the perfect gift for word buffs.
