Whether it's the distress of a bad haircut (AGE-OTORI) or longing
for the food someone else is eating (GROAKING), the pleasure found
in other people's happiness (CONFELICITY) or the shock of jumping
into icy water (CURGLAFF), there are real words to pinpoint exactly
how you feel and Susie Dent, Queen of Countdown's Dictionary Corner
and lexicographer extraordinaire, is going to help you find them.
Here are 1001 terms everyone needs, whether it's the best kind of
hug (CWTCH), the relief found in swearing (LALOCHEZIA), or the
ability to endure till the end (PERTOLERANCE). It's time to
rediscover the lost positives of language (and be more GORM); find
out how a stork gave us the word for the love between parent and
child, and who the first MAVERICK was. Packed with unexpected
stories and unforgettable words, on a mission to describe the
indescribable, this life-enhancing book will deepen your vocabulary
as much as it extends it. Welcome to the first truly human
dictionary, as idiosyncratic and unusual as you are.
