More about the book
Neologisms (new words) are a barometer of the course our increasingly accelerated culture is taking. They spring from scientific techno babble, media jargon, sexual politics, cyberculture, netspeak, political doubletalk, street slang and marketing spiel. From affirmative shopping (looting) to negative gross profit (a loss), this is a cultural guide for even the most neologistically bereft.
