'Words are not only tools; they are also weapons' The secret to being a truly Superior Person is to use really superior words.

Impress your friends, amaze your colleagues and baffle your enemies with this witty, charming, and clever little book. About the Author Who exactly is Peter Bowler? On questioning, the author becomes noticeably tongue-tied, and indeed has been known to break down completely and admit to being just an casily confused fat man with a poor memory. Prizes From AEAEAE (=magic) to ZZJOANW (=a Maori drum), a dictionary for every lover of good words, neglected words, and downright mad wordsFor the first time, here's a book that doesn't just amuse, it actually teaches you how and when to use these words in real life situationsThe ideal gift and stocking-filler |
