About this title

Synopsis

- The groove that runs between your nose and your mouth.
- That little piece of plastic closing the end of a shoelace.
- That long thin trail left behind by a jet airplane.
- Those string bits on a banana.
They're between our fingers, under our noses and yet we have absolutely no idea what they're called. Until now. In The Whatchamacallit, authors Danny Danziger and Mark McCrum have a fascinating - fun - collection of terms (all true) for the things we never realy knew the names of.
