Product Information
For those with little time to spare: This book will give you the information you want, quickly and easily without lifting a heavy volume or reading small type. The author himself read every single word in three very big dictionaries in preparation. It contains most of the words to be found in a larger dictionary, except those an educated person knows and those from special areas like medicine or biology. Thousands of things you didn't know: Hardly anyone knows more than a quarter of these words and there are about five thousand entries. So you can count on learning several thousand new things. About 5,000 words including: Adulia: Loss of willpower Boffin: A scientist Chela: The claw of a lobster Dielectric: Non conducting Feaze: To travel Gamp: (British) An umbrella Ha ha: (French) A sunken fence Joule: One watt-second Kissinger's Law: The first thing you think of is probably wrong!Product Identifiers
