Synopsis
Chambers Weasel Words is a demystification of those words and phrases used to bewilder, befuddle, and confuse us, from the Estate Agent's 'bijou' to the more serious politician's 'waterboarding'. From the deliberately confusing to the downright vague, we all come across language that either seems meaningless or that makes our heads spin. Using contemporary examples, this book illustrates those words we find confusing, and explains what each word actually means while giving a history of its use.
