A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

We all go through life repeating clichés and complaining about the same things. But fear not! Help is at hand to put some fun into everyday language and rescue you from your pit of lexicographical doom. Join Phil and Steve on a journey through what we're really saying when we constantly drag up tired old phrases, and find out how to transform communication into a source of fun for even the most menial of tasks.

Language will no longer be the same. Join them as they dispel the myths and put the "lang" back into language. We don't know what that means but that's not the point!

Words bring life to any occasion, so let's celebrate them by making them do the unexpected. Phil and Steve mix them up, throw them about a bit and have some fun, making nonsense make sense.

Biographie de l'auteur

Authors Phil Woods and Steve Smith once heard someone say, "We're all in the same boat" and yet, on looking around, they found there were no water-residing vessels to be seen! That got them thinking about the many funny things people say without thinking.

Their interests in language, comedy and society mean they are constantly writing about their observations. Phil resides in North Wales with his wife Vicky. Steve lives in Lancashire with his wife Jen.
