This charming and whimsically illustrated book of newly
minted words—on politics and the media, love and friendship,
work, play, family, fashion, and city life—presents a
necessary vocabulary for the ever-changing customs of the
young millennium. Based on her “Wordbirds” blog, Liesl Schillinger’s witty and
wise collection of neologisms defines the peculiarities of
modern life that we recognize, but until now were unable to
put into words. With her finger on the pulse of the digital
age, Schillinger has created a fresh and funny dictionary
for the twenty-first century. This beautiful gift book features a stunning array of
full-color bird illustrations that bring to life the spirit
of each coinage, from the anxious “E-Quail” to the irksome
“Wordpecker.” With its clever embrace of language and astute
cultural observations, Wordbirds takes word humor to a whole
new level.
