Book Description

The essential guide to polite conversation, Wobbly Bits and Other Euphemisms explains the origins of more than 3,000 euphemisms in a fun, informative way. From the politically incorrect to the seriously taboo, this humorous book by the respected author of Word Origins covers subjects such as crime, sins, sex, the body, illness, politics, warfare and race, and is a useful research tool for writers, journalists, researchers and linguists.
