The Little Book of Lost Words

<b>The founder of <i>History Hustle </i>presents a handy guide for expressing yourself with history's best words. </b><br><br>This collection features scores of unique words from history that deal with surprisingly modern issues like sleeping in and procrastination--proving that some things never change! <i>The Little Book of Lost Words</i> presents each term that's ready to be brought back into modern-day use, complete with definition, hilarious sample sentence, and cheeky historical art. You'll learn new words for the cozy room where you like to Netflix and chill (<i>snuggery</i>), for a dishonest politician (<i>snollygoster</i>), and for a young person who sleeps through the day and doesn't work (<i>dewdropper</i>). If you like <i>Lost in Translation</i>, <i>Shakespeare Insult Generator</i>, <i>Drunk History</i>, and Roald Dahl--and you delight in the way words like <i>blatteroon</i> and <i>flapdoodle</i> roll off the tongue--then you're the word lover this book was written for.
