 I won't spoil any more for you but there are some real gems in these pages which I'll leave for you to find. If you pick yourself up a copy of this book, come back and tell me in the comment (or on Twitter) what your favourite words were.

I've decided to take on the challenge to incorporating some words into my everyday speech. With the upcoming UK election, I expect flapdoodle to become much more prevelant.

I can highly reccommend this book to any fan of the English language, lexcologists, or anyone who can read. You can pick up a copy here.
