You’re a logophile. You’re addicted to words. You can’t help it. Sometimes it feels like nobody understands, but you’re not alone! Across the world, word lovers are flaunting their vocabularies on the streets, in libraries, in bookstores. They’re openly carrying their dictionaries and thesauri! We will not be shamed!

New to the scene? Want to impress your etymologist friends? We’re here to help. In this slim volume, you’ll find carefully curated lists of collective nouns, eggcorns, palindromes, onomatopoeia, fossil words, oxymora, portmanteaux, demonyms, and a plethora of words with no vowels. You’ll also find a wee bit of philological history. Grab your dictionary, a hot beverage, and prepare to be flabbergasted, gobsmacked, and boggled.
