Toujours Tingo - More Extraordinary Words to Change the Way We See the World

Informationen zum Autor Adam Jacot de Boinod's interest in foreign languages was first aroused when doing research for the BBC programme QI and subsequently developed into a full-on vokabulyu (Russian - passion for foreign words). While searching through 280 dictionaries! 140 websites and numerous books on language! he developed an undoubted samlermani (Danish - mania for collecting)! became close to being fisselig (German - flustered to the point of incompetence) and narrowly avoided karoshi (Japanese - death from overwork). He is now intending to nglayap (Indonesian - wander far from home with no particular purpose). Klappentext The sequel to the bestselling "The Meaning Of Tingo" which offers even more extraordinary words that will change the way we see the world. This season's must-have "kloskvaltare" - the Swedish word for bestselling book! which literally means 'it knocks the sales booth over.'
