Description
A humorous and unusual collection of columns from the Saturday Telegraph.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 of 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.'Combining scholarly shrewdness with sheer good fun' - The Scotsman'Amusing and informative' - The Sunday Telegraph
