What is Manglo-Saxon : marvelously mangled meanings for well-worn words about?
From The Unkempt Language Laboratory of England's foremost unknown neolinguist comes a new kind of lexicon in which words sound and look like what they mean. You'll yelp with pleasure (when you're not wheezing with indignation) at such redefinitions Exclamation on finding something unexpected in restaurant food. "Equator! There's a spider in my soup." A sedated domestic animal. "A simple pill turns a hysterical schnauzer into a wobbling limpet." An injury sustained while practicing yoga. "I'm sorry I can't come jogging with you today. I've got yoghurt in my groin." ...and more than three hundred similarly refreshing, ready-to-use new old words! 124 pages with approximately 360 entries in eleven chapters such as food, health, and music. Black-and-white and color illustrations are spackled throughout. Smythe-sewn casebound book with dust jacket.
