Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a humorous compilation of over 5,000 witty, sarcastic, and nonsensical definitions of the English language compiled in the early 20th century. The author takes a playful jab at the seriousness of the English language, mocking the likes of Webster and Worcester, while satirizing everything from human behavior to modern inventions. Its absurd and epigrammatic approach to language reflects the social and cultural landscape of its time, making it an amusing read for those looking for a lighthearted take on the English language. The book offers a glimpse into the history of language, as well as insights into the human condition.
