This is a humourous collection of columns from the " Saturday Telegraph" . This work looks at the use and abuse of words in current English language usage. What does " it" mean in " It-girl" ? Each entry looks at the history of the word, how it has changed and what it has come to mean.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
