Mark Forsyth's The Horologicon

Mark Forsyth's The Horologicon gives you the most extraordinary words in the English language, arranged according to the hour of the day when you really need them. Available now.

Are you a theist (one who is addicted to tea) or partial to a bit of shturmovschina (the practice of working frantically just before a deadline, having not done anything for the last month)?

Join our campaign to bring back these wonderful lost words of the English Language! #lostwords
