This book is a scholarly reference work of terms, phrases and slang words. Arranged alphabetically, each term includes a concise definition and historical context, with many including historical examples and quotations. The author notes the social and cultural evolution of language and explores the reasons behind many phrases' etymologies. Though organized methodically, this book is a treasure trove for dipping into and discovering obscure and unusual words that have played their part in the historical development of the English language.
