Synopsis

This fun and fascinating guide to new words in English is a must for anyone who loves language. Every month hundreds of new words are collected by Collins, one of the UK's leading language publishers, and this book contains the best of the bunch. What if we told you there's an Evil Twin downstairs? That your children are at the silent disco and your dad's been dooced? What if we called you a flashpacker -- or worse: an orthorexic? If dog-whistling goes over your head and global dimming leaves you in the dark, I Smirt, You Stooze, They Krump should be your guide to the fastest-changing language on Earth. Combining up-to-the-minute vocabulary with the colourful stories behind the next generation of English words, this is the only book for anyone who wants to keep their finger on the pulse of this fascinating and ever-growing language.
