The Word Museum: The Most Remarkable English Words Ever Forgotten | Jeffrey Kacirk
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
ENTER A GALLERY OF WIT AND WHIMSY As the largest and most dynamic collection of words ever assembled, the English language continues to expand. But as hundreds of new words are added annually, older ones are sacrificed. Now from the author of Forgotten English comes a collection of fascinating archaic words and phrases, providing an enticing glimpse into the past. With beguiling period illustrations, The Word Museum offers up the marvelous oddities and peculiar enchantments of old and unusual words.

Just started holiday with my sisters and they (who know me well!) presented me this. Example: maulifuff— a woman without energy;one who makes much fuss and does little or nothing; generally applied to a young woman.” Delightful and informative for those who love lost words!
Every word is given with its source and the bibliography is extensive which only means that now I know of more odd dictionaries to collect!
