From 'shotclog' a Yorkshire term for a companion only tolerated because he
is paying for the drinks to Albanian having 29 words to describe different
kinds of eyebrows, the languages of the world are full of amazing, amusing
and illuminating words and expressions that will improve absolutely
everybody's quality of life. All they need is this book! This bumper volume
gathers all three of Adam Jacot de Boinod's acclaimed books about language -
"The Wonder of Whiffling", "The Meaning of Tingo" and "Toujours Tingo" (their
fans include everyone from Stephen Fry to Michael Palin) - into one highly
entertaining, keenly priced compendium. As Mariella Frostup said 'You'll never
be lost for words again'.
