Product Description
Whether it's the distress of a bad haircut (age-otori) or longing for the food someone else is eating (groaking), the pleasure found in other people's happiness (confelicity) or the shock of jumping into icy water (curglaff), there are real words to pinpoint exactly how you feel and Susie Dent, Queen of Countdown's Dictionary Corner and lexicographer extraordinaire, is going to help you find them. Here are 1001 terms everyone needs, whether it's the best kind of hug (cwtch), the relief found in swearing (lalochezia), or the ability to endure till the end (pertolance). It's time to rediscover the lost positives of language; find out how a stork gave us the word for the love between parent and child, and who the first maverick was.
