Did you know that the Scots have over 400 words for snow or what a binfluencer is? What about the medieval invention of Lubberland as a place for lazy teenagers or how Mayday became a request for help? Lexicographer extraordinaire and Queen of Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent does. From wabbit to dust bunnies , from the strange history of arse to the best ways to describe moonlight, WORDS FOR LIFE offers a full year''s supply of verbal vitamin shots guaranteed to entertain and enlighten, to brighten and boost every single day. From a Mother-in-Law''s Dream to a Yuleshard, in Susie Dent''s hands these amazing expressions can fix (or at least nail) the problems of modern life, whether it''s dealing with unrequited love or an unsatisfactory politician, eating a whole packet of biscuits or forgetting someone''s name. From starting January 1 with your best foot forward ( qualtagh ) to leaping happily into the unknown (with a drink in your hand) on 31 December, every year is a journey and now you have the perfect guide all the way through. And 365 words you''ll want to keep for life.
