Publisher's Synopsis

Ever racked your brain for a word you're convinced should exist, yet is inexplicably absent from the dictionary? All languages have their limitations - should English fall short, the expression may lie elsewhere. That's where this book comes in: a quirky lexicon of well-known and more obscure 'untranslatables', linguistic gems that capture those nebulous undefinables with such satisfying precision, they'll have you squealing 'eureka!' from a newfound plane of expression.
