There's a Word for It (Revised Edition): A Grandiloquent Guide to Life

Here's an irresistible invitation to discover a treasure trove of exceptional words you can use to add sophistication to your vocabulary and charm to your repartee.

Presented with panache by the language connoisseur whom William Safire calls ek-STROR-di-ner-ee, There's a Word for It will add a dash of wit to your daily life -- lest anyone mistake you for a sumph (stupid oaf) or fritlag (a good-for-nothing).
