Words We Don't Use (Much Anymore) - Diarmaid Ó Muirithe

Hardback

Diarmaid O Muirithe's column Words We Use has been a feature of The Irish Times over many years and has formed a critically acclaimed book of the same name. Now Words We Don't Use (much anymore) is a highly entertaining compendium of words which are either on the brink of extinction or have already been deemed obsolete by the great dictionaries. O Muirithe's gentle and witty style reveals his vast knowledge and scholarship in an accessible way. Inside you will find words such as manable, meaning a girl of marriageable age, and adamite, a person who appears nude in public, among many others that you might want to casually drop into your everyday conversation! Words We Don't Use is a wordsmith's delight.

"His brilliant column is the first thing I turn to. He once called me a tome feek and I'm still blushing" Joanna Lumley

"Wit, blinding erudition, and the sheer joy of words. Ó Muirithe's book is a treasure, a constant source of delight" Terry Wogan
