Description
When it comes to the English language (and Just a Minute), Gyles Brandreth is never lost for words. This A to Z of verbal acrobatics takes you on a whirlwind tour of word origins, grammar and punctuation, similes, euphemisms and tongue twisters (such as floccinaucinihilipification). An idiosyncratic blend of history, word play, anecdote, and hyperbole, all in 60-second instalments, this is Brandreth at his Just-a-Minute best.
