Synopsis
" Frantic Semantics" takes a witty look at the use and abuse of words in current English usage. What does " It" mean in " It-girl" ? How has " anorak" , which used to be an item for clothing, come to be a form of abuse? How is " babe" being used for men in the post-feminist age? Each entry looks at the history of the word, how it has changed and what it has come to mean.
