Presents a collection of 1,000 'unwords' featuring indispensable terms.
The only reference that collects words which are too new for dictionaries but absolutely perfect when heard in context, this collection of 1,000 "unwords" contains plenty of indispensable terms. "What to call yucky slime at the tip of a lotion dispenser?" Accumulotion, of course! "How to refer to a receding hairline?" A former forehead is now a fivehead. "Children complaining when their peas roll into their applesauce at dinner?" At last there's a name for that errant pea: it's a foodgitive. Word-lovers will laugh at the ingenious names for as yet unnamed things, which will surely find their way into readers' personal lexicons.
