100 Words That Make the English
Unlike the David Crystal version, this is a book about words that relate to English people and culture.Goes from irony to sarcasm, encompasses eccentric and quaint and nudges up against queues and jobsworths. Has some grumbling and a jolly time before reaching for the toast.Very good, and well worth a read
