Overview

"We all invent words and coin phrases, it's how the language evolves. Taken from the popular Web site by the same name, ""Addictionary: Werds to Live By"" collects the best of these neologisms - 'werds' - into a handy volume, organized into categories (including technology, politics, dating, sports, religion and medicine) and cleverly illustrated throughout.Everyone knows a 'googlion', a person who uses Google to find out absolutely everything he or she does not know; many have encountered people who suffer from 'AlGoreaphobia', an irrational fear of the former USA presidential candidate. A select few have reached 'beervana', the blissful state of oblivion brought on through copious consumption of malted hops, while others might be accused of being 'philosophickle', changing their fundamental outlooks on life often and with little thought. A great gift for any wordsmith, ""Addictionary"" is at the cutting-edge of the English language, staking claims on new linguistic territory with an arch blend of the sharply intellectual and the sublimely silly."
