Bagels bumf & buses : a day in the life of the English language / Simon Horobin. by Horobin, Simon, author. Oxford ; New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2019.

Requests:  0 Summary:  Where do our everyday words come from? The bagel you eat for breakfast, the bumf you have to wade through at the office, and the bus that takes you home again: we use these words without thinking about their origins or how their meanings have changed over time. Simon Horobin takes the reader on a journey through a typical day, showing how the words we use to describe routine activities - getting up, going to work, eating meals - have surprisingly fascinating histories.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 422 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 422 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 422 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList
