The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time: Wit and Wisdow from the Popular Language Column in the New York Times Magazine

Book by Safire, 

Is looksim the newest social prejudice?  Did you know baldfaced liars are referencing Shakespeare ?  We know what our British friends are up to when Snogging but is ligging the newest craze across the pond?  From netspionage and e-fraud to frankenfood, Safire puts those who take linguistic missteps-politicians and newscasters are among his favorites-back in line.  Decoding political acronyms such as the USA PATRIOT act, etymologizing galumphing, and pushing the envelope when it comes to intelligent and sometimes off the wall witticisms, Safire is in his element.
