Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the last thirty years, a large number of once commonplace words, phrases and expressions have disappeared without trace from common usage. And with them, too, have gone a number of goods, services and everyday objects that were once an important part of our everyday lives. Where did they go and why? "Lost English" takes a look at how our language changes and explores the influence of other cultures on our own. For example, the pace of modern life and the influence of America has forever impacted our country's sociological formation, and rapid advances in technology have made certain products obsolete. It includes such entries as: 'Charlie's Dead' - a euphemism used to tell a girl that her petticoat is showing; 'dekko' - take a quick look or glance; 'brilliantine' - men's hair dressing product; and 'Nippy' - the name given to waitresses in Lyons Corner Houses. "Lost English" illuminates all these terms and much more. It's a fantastic gift for all those interested in history and the English language and a fascinating look at times past.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A mondegreen is a word or phrase which, when spoken or sung, is misheard as another word or phrase, often resulting in a hilarious outcome. Most people have heard of the famous mondegreen, 'send three-and-fourpence, we're going to a dance', the surprise request of a troop of soldiers who actually said, 'send reinforcements, we're going to advance'. The most common causes of confusion are song lyrics, as puzzled listeners struggle to work out why The Beatles were singing "The girl with colitis goes by" ('The girl with kaleidoscope eyes'), but mondegreens are not only found in songs and poetry, but also in everyday life. For example, the lady who rang the hospital asking for Sir Michael Spears, when, in fact, she was actually enquiring about cervical smears. "Mondegreens" is a side-splittingly funny collection of wonderful and absurd mishearings, put together in an elegant package that is certain to appeal to English language aficionados everywhere.
