Entertaining and educating. If, like me, you've always wanted to know about the 'secret' language spoken in the emergency department of a hospital, or by cricket players, or among sound engineers, or... This book is for you.

I did this in five word bursts, sometimes multiple a day, rather than one a day to keep up with library loans period, but it was still marvelously diverting rather than overwhelming. I can't say I'll remember every word I learned about but I always enjoy etymological entertainment. 1/?

I don't remember "I F'd your mom" dating back to Shakespeare coming up in English class. ? Probably why we did Hamlet instead of Titus Andronicus. Sidebar: Serious cognitive dissonance around seeing 'your mum' - UK version seems way more charming than North American 'yo mama'.
Rarely been in a position to test hangover cures, but having a good cry sounds at least as anecdotally comforting as a greasy breakfast. 🤷🏼♂️😭🥹
