If you have ever been bamboozled by the use of a foreign word or
phrase, or simply want to spice up your vocabulary with some
well-chosen bons mots, then this is the book for you. Thousands of
foreign words and phrases have been absorbed into the language and
are currently used in English, from the everyday (macho,
tete-a-tete, spaghetti) to the relatively obscure (ultra vires,
auto-da-fe). Faux Pas focuses on familiar terms and expressions as
well as those that are new, curious or amusing. Each expression is
'translated', with an indication of its language of origin and
pronunciation, a comment on its usefulness and a Pretentiousness
Index.
