Riassunto

Le parole ti deludono? Mai più, una volta che sarai diventato l'orgoglioso proprietario di The Complete Uxbridge English Dictionary. Ogni parola ha un significato, ma nel corso degli anni quei significati cambiano. Immergiti in queste pagine illustrate e troverai molte delle parole che usi ogni giorno senza mai renderti conto che la loro definizione aggiornata è qualcosa di completamente diverso. Parole come ''bunny'' (piuttosto come un panino), o ''cherish'' (piuttosto come una sedia), ''Cardiology'' (lo studio della maglieria) o ''buggery'' (lo studio degli insetti), ''Venezuala'' (una gondola con un arpione) o ''Norway'' (un'esclamazione di sorpresa in stile Geordie), ''ivy'' (il termine romano per ''quattro'') o ''faculty'' (cockney per ''non ci sono più PG Tips''). Grazie a The Complete Uxbridge English Dictionary ora puoi usare parole familiari e quotidiane in totale sicurezza, pienamente informato sui loro significati più recenti. Buona formulazione.
