A fascinating read. Absolutely engaging. we generally take it for granted that we know absolutely every thing about words once we learn their commonly intended meaning. Read this book and it will change your whole perception about words. Words won't be mere words anymore.

This is am amusing book about the history and background of common english words and phrases. The internet has made this book somewhat obsolete, however his digressions are fun for word lovers.
