Requirements: .ePUB reader, 14.2MB | Retail
Overview: Finally there's a word for it: Fidgital - excessively checking one's devices. Martyrmony - staying married out of duty. Author of the highly popular 'That Should Be a Word' feature in the New York Times Magazine, Lizzie Skurnick delights word lovers with razor-sharp social commentary delivered via clever neologisms. That Should Be a Word is a compendium of 244 of Skurnick's wittiest wordplays - more than half of them new - arranged in ingenious diagrams detailing their interrelationships.

Complete with definitions, pronunciations, usage examples, and illustrations, That Should Be a Word features words on our obsession with food: carbiter - one who asserts that someone else cannot be hungry. On social media, like twiticule - to mock someone in 140 characters. On the modern family, like brattle - to discuss one's children at great length, which leads to words like spamily - Facebook or Twitter updates about kids - and spawntourage - a group of approaching strollers.

From highlighting the profound financial anxiety of a post-recession society (bangst) to mocking the hyper-vain celebrity circle that abstains from anything of import (celebracy), That Should Be a Word delves deep into all the most humorous, and maddening, aspects of life in the 21st century.
