Product Description
"Frantic Semantics" takes a witty look at the use and abuse of words in current English usage. What does "It" mean in "It-girl"? How has "anorak", which used to be an item for clothing, come to be a form of abuse? How is "babe" being used for men in the post-feminist age? Each entry looks at the history of the word, how it has changed and what it has come to mean.
