Synopsis
A word is just so many letters. It is the definition of a word—the meaning of it—that matters. What a person thinks a word means is what he thinks is true. So all of the wrangling over words is more than an exercise of personal preference. It is the struggle to define the truth. But while a word may reflect the truth, it may also disguise a lie. If you do not think this is so, consider the competing meanings of the words “justice” or “marriage” or “God.”
This dictionary focuses on such words—words about religion, politics, education, work, money, science, technology and family. These are the contested words of our time. Humor is the best way to reveal a truth or expose a lie. How? The turn of a phrase. The unexpected twist. A play on words. Contrast. Some poor poetry. Absurdity. And a bit of nonsense. That is how to make words honest. Franck words.
