Timorous tenderfoots, lackadaisical
slouches, and closed-minded obscurants should avoid this fun and
devious vocabulary book. Everyone else will delight in its blend
of flabbergasting words, wacky quotes, and creative quizzes. Educator
Phil Eisenhower has selected the words SAT and GRE takers love
to hate–such as obdurate, edacious, and vulpine–and
made them memorable. Realizing that people remember insults better
than any other words, the author has phrased each word as a humorous
barb. The result is a vocabulary reference that everyone–from
gangsters to students to presidents–can use to insult and
impress. |
