What is Family Words: A Dictionary Of The Secret Language Of Families (how America Speaks Series) about?

<p>Providing a vast collection of words developed in households across the country and through the decades, this&nbsp;creative reference&nbsp;book defines crafty words created&nbsp;within specific families. These words&nbsp;carry significant&nbsp;meaning&nbsp;within&nbsp;the originating&nbsp;family unit&nbsp;but are&nbsp;meaningless to those outside.&nbsp;For example,&nbsp;a "gluebottom" is&nbsp;the name for the&nbsp;guest who would not leave&nbsp;and "ootocks" became the expression for shoes and socks when a child was unable to pronounce the words individually. This&nbsp;dictionary&nbsp;includes the&nbsp;stories and&nbsp;interpretation&nbsp;necessary&nbsp;for all readers to appreciate&nbsp;these amusing and useful words and phrases.</p>
