Description

From Geronimo to gesundheit to haminahamina to holy mackerel, & from abracadabra to zoinks!, this book shows you interjections like you’ve never seen them before! Interjections (ahem, howdy, mamma mia, pshaw, tally-ho, whoop-de-do) may be the most overlooked part of speech in the English language. A lighthearted look at more than 500 interjections, the book explores the origins of these essential words & highlights the contributions of these previously unheralded parts of speech. Perfect for both word lovers & the casual reader, this book brings together the linguistic talents of Dunn & the graphic hilarity of Aragones, the cartoonist & contributor to “Mad” magazine, for a delightful romp through grammar, culture, & the English language.
