Sobre este artículo
London England: Penguin. Very Good. 2005. Reprint. Soft Cover. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall Duodecimo 0141012234 Papeback Paperback. Port Out, Starboard Home and Other Language Myths. The fascinating stories we tell about the words we use. In this wonderfully, rich exploration of the wilder shores of the English language, the author reveals the true history of terms ranging from Fair Dinkam to Welsh Rabbit and debunks the myths that have grown up around the origins of words as diverse as posh, OK and jazz. Hilarious, chatty and brilliantly erudire, this book is a fascinating treasure-trove of fiction and fact for anyone who has ever stopped to wonder what really inspired the bizarre words and phrases that pepper our everyday conversations. 282 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.) .
