Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Larpers and Shroomers" is a collection of the most intriguing facts and observations on the English language in recent years, and particularly in 2004. In her eminently browsable exploration of the changing face of English, Susie Dent, Countdown's dictionary expert, takes us on a journey through the most exotic and dynamic areas of the language. The book covers new words from 'sexiles' to 'gangmasters', euphemisms from 'full and frank discussions' to 'downsizing', and world English from 'izzit?' to 'barbecue stoppers'. Chapters also examine the effect of slang, technology, politics, TV, and the media on everyday vocabulary, while others chart the changing face of grammar, punctuation, and pronunciation. Dent also looks at new language emerging from the Internet and chatrooms, as well as in the worlds of food and drink and fashion. A brand-new fresh design brings the language to life on the page, looks very elegant, and makes the book easy to read. Based authoritative information from Oxford's Language Research Programme, the largest such programme in the world, this volume brings completely fresh information to readers. Compellingly informative and readable, "Larpers and Shroomers" has something for everyone. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Susie Dent is a one-off. She breathes life and fun into words and language' Pam Ayres 'Susie Dent is a national treasure' Richard Osman Welcome to a year of wonder with Susie Dent, lexicographer, logophile, and longtime queen of Countdown's Dictionary Corner. From the real Jack the Lad to the theatrically literal story behind stealing someone's thunder, from tartle (forgetting someone's name at the very moment you need it) to snaccident (the unintentional eating of an entire packet of biscuits), WORD PERFECT is a brilliant linguistic almanac full of unforgettable stories, fascinating facts, and surprising etymologies tied to every day of the year. You'll never be lost for words again. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: New. "I enjoyed this so much. As a pessimistic lover of words, this was both comforting and heart-warming. I always think that learning about etymology is a way to appreciate the secret code of the world, and Susie is the perfect guide and companion and lexical cheerleader." - Stig Abel "Susie Dent's way with words always makes me happy. This is my kind of book. There's positivity on every page." - Gyles Brandreth Susie Dent, bestselling author, broadcaster and word expert, is on a mission to find light in the deepest, darkest corners of our language. It takes just a short browse through the dictionary to spot how it is filled with negative words. But Susie has searched far and wide to unearth happy and uplifting words and phrases that, in some cases, are long forgotten, while others have only just been discovered. Paired with beautiful illustrations, this is the perfect book to lift you out of your mubble fubbles (a slightly sad mood), make you grin like a gigglemug (someone who never stops smiling), and have you feeling forblissed (extremely happy) in no time. This joyous collection of 100 positive words and their origins will show readers young and old just how wonderful language can be - and how you can use your words to make the world a happier place.
