An A-to-Z reference featuring wonderful words and expressions from the past: "What a fun book!" —Kathleen Dunn, Wisconsin Public Radio
History is positively brimming with rich language deserving of rejuvenation. This compendium gathers forgotten words, phrases, names, insults, and idioms, plus fascinating and funny anecdotes, etymologies, and occasions for modern use.
Let's Bring Back: The Lost Language Edition takes readers on a philological journey through words from the not-too-distant past. From all-overish to zounds, the vintage vernacular collected here will make any reader the cat's meow among friends, relations, and acquaintances.
