About
This well-structured trawl through linguistic urban legends serves to set the etymological record straight. Using history, chronology and linguistics as primary tools, the author debunks the folklore surrounding everyday expressions, words and eponymous attributions, and provides solid alternative suggestions where no definitive answer can be found.
