From 'shotclog' a Yorkshire term for a companion only tolerated because he is paying for the drinks to Albanian having 29 words to describe different kinds of eyebrows, the languages of the world are full of amazing, amusing and illuminating words and expressions that will improve absolutely everybody's quality of life. All they need is this book! This bumper volume gathers all three of Adam Jacot de Boinod's acclaimed books about language - "The Wonder of Whiffling", "The Meaning of Tingo" and "Toujours Tingo" (their fans include everyone from Stephen Fry to Michael Palin) - into one highly entertaining, keenly priced compendium. As Mariella Frostup said 'You'll never be lost for words again'.

之前期待瞭這本書好久好久 終於讀到瞭特彆失望。就隻是羅列瞭一些對作者來說有意思的世界各地的詞而已 好多拼寫和意思都是錯的 讀瞭二十來頁 實在無趣 棄瞭。不打一星的原因大概是這本書有可能會對其它人來說有意思吧。

評分世界各地的五花八門的俚語,很搞笑也很長知識的書。就是看到後來覺得疲勞瞭,要是分成幾冊齣就更好瞭。
