The user's guide to more than 30,000 words—new, old, and just plain fascinating


Himbo: a male bimbo. Protire: leave a boring job to
do something more interesting. Sheeple: people who
follow the crowd. These are just a few of the newly
evolved words discussed and explained in The Birds and Bees of Words, an
entertaining, informative look at the ever-changing nature of the English
language. More than 1,000 words are featured on the book's list of new and
inventive words; nearly 30,000 more words are discussed in sections
including a look at word roots and how they are used in modern language; a
list of words that are commonly misspelled or misunderstood; and a style
guide to usage rules and how and why they can be broken. Anyone who is
intrigued by language, who is fascinated by words, or who simply wants to
use our language clearly and effectively will enjoy The Birds and Bees of
Words.
