There's a Word for It - A Grandiloquent Guide to Life (Paperback, Revised & Updated ed.)

Here's an irresistible invitation to discover a treasure trove of exceptional words you can use to add sophistication to your vocabulary and charm to your repartee. Consider that without realizing it you may have engaged in "acokoinonia" (sex without passion or desire), been bored to tears by the company of a "philodox" (someone in love with his or her opinions), or suffered from recurrent "matutolypea" (getting up on the wrong side of the bed). Presented with panache by the language connoisseur whom William Safire calls "ek-STROR-di-ner-ee," "There's a Word for It" will add a dash of wit to your daily life -- lest anyone mistake you for a "sumph" (stupid oaf) or "fritlag" (a good-for-nothing).
