Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

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.
