Justin Crozier

What if you were told that there is an Evil Twin downstairs? That your children are at the silent disco and your dad's been dooced? What if you were called a flashpacker or—worse—an orthorexic? If dog-whistling goes over your head and global dimming leaves you in the dark, this is your guide to the ever-expanding English vocabulary. Combining an up-to-the-minute vocabulary with the colorful stories behind their origin, this is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to keep their finger on the pulse of the next generation of English words and phrases.
