About this Item
Description:
Seller Inventory # BSM.SUJ4
Synopsis:
Lists unique, largely forgotten English words still highly useful in everyday life, such as "purlicue" (the space between thumb and forefinger) and "filipendulous" (hanging by a thread) along with their pronunciation, a sample phrase, and a reverse dictionary.
Review:
The next time you see some guy stagger out of a bar ready to take on the world, 'drunk and feeling brave, ' you can dismiss him with a single word: potvaliant! That short, fat person nearby on the subway is fubsy, and his thickset companion is spuddy. The loudmouth a few seats away is bloviating, his babblative chatter little more than clatterfart. This can be addictive. . .--Jonathan Yardley
Now that Grambs has introduced me to it, I plan to make good use of 'bloviation, ' meaning talking windily, as in political candidates or sports commentators.--Digby Diehl
