Pardon My English! | |||
| An Exploration of Slang and Informal Language | Reference | |||
| Michael Munro | ||||
| Chambers 2007 372 pages | ||||
| Paperback 0550102868 | ||||
| Published Price £8.99 | Our Price £3.99 | |||
| From the 16th century (when 'lazybones' and 'the clap' first appear) to the modern age of 'bling' and 'silver surfers', from 'Brum' to South Asia (where 'TK' means 'OK') and from quaint euphemisms to 'some very rude words', this collection of slang expressions looks into the shadier recesses of the English language. It explains the meanings of nearly 6000 words and phrases and identifies the groups of people who might use them. | ||||

| Paperback 0550102930 | ||||
| Published Price £7.99 | Our Price £3.99 | |||
| Prepare to discover that some of your most fondly-held beliefs are demonstrably untrue: Albinoni's Adagio is not by Albinoni, Sherlock Holmes never wore a deerstalker, powdered glass is not poisonous - and there are no characters with dubious names in Captain Pugwash. But, as it happens, there really are startlingly few famous Belgians. | ||||

| Published Price £9.99 | Our Price £4.99 | |||
| Collecting some of the most striking and memorable similes and metaphors - the very antithesis of cliche - in the pages of modern English literature, Terence Hodgson urges us to pause and marvel at their sheer delight and inventiveness, from Sonya Hartnett's 'the sun felt soft as a cat' to Edmund White's 'the terrible decaying Camembert of my heart'. | ||||

Full of sound advice even now, the book covers everything from renting or buying a house to choosing a suitable breed of dog. In between are meticulous guides to all aspects of housework and, of course, the dreaded servant problem. | ||||
