The Horologicon - A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language (Paperback)

Do you wake up feeling rough? Then you're "philogrobolized."
Find yourself pretending to work? That's "fudgelling."
And this could lead to "rizzling," if you feel sleepy after lunch. Though you are sure to become a sparkling "deipnosopbist "by dinner. Just don't get too "vinomadefied"; a drunk dinner companion is never appreciated.
"The Horologicon" (or book of hours) contains the most extraordinary words in the English language, arranged according to what hour of the day you might need them. From Mark Forsyth, the author of the #1 international bestseller, "The Etymologicon," comes a book of weird words for familiar situations. From "ante-jentacular" to "snudge "by way of "quafftide "and "wamblecropt," at last you can say, with utter accuracy, exactly what you mean.
