Is that what it means?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I'm one of those nutty people who can sit down, open a dictionary and still be totally engrossed in it 3 hours later..... I am facinated with words and how they are used in every day conversation. What is even more interesting, is the millions of words that are never used, but are still in the Dictionary !!!! This particular dictionary is my new favorite. It is small and fat but easily taken along for the ride or to sit next to the computer. The fonts are happy and whimsical and I love the British slang and language...... Give it a whirl !! It just might make you.... as happy as it makes me !!!!
