In On the Tip of My Tongue, logophile and television star Tom Read
Wilson takes a delicious dive into the etymology and usage of
words, euphemisms and bon mots. Written with his trademark
sparkling wit, the star of Celebs Go Dating and self-avowed
word-lover presents a hilarious and fascinating guide which aims to
leave you never lost for words again. Divided into sections
spanning dating, personal development, show business, compliments,
curses, and how to dodge offence while speaking your mind, this
book will equip you with the words needed to navigate all the
situations of modern life with style and grace. From treppenwitz
(the German word for the feeling of a missed riposte in an
argument) to Callipygian (a 17th Century word referring to someone
with well shaped buttocks) to JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out), this
guide covers a wide and varied range of words, from those with
roots in antiquity to new ones being coined in the present day.
With Tom's wit and lifelong love of words by your side, you'll
always be able to pick the perfect word, phrase or quip, whether
you are trying to understand the many metaphors for sex or trying
to tell your mother you love her. This is a delightful and
hilarious etymological solution to the dilemmas and conundrums of
modern life and a must-read for every budding vocabularian.
