Introduction Excerpt
As a kid, when I came across a word I didn’t know my parents told me to look it up. Yeah, I had those parents. And by look it up I mean I had to physically get up, haul the Big Ass Dictionary down off the shelf, and search for the word. If for some reason there was no dictionary on hand I was told to figure the word out from the context of the sentence. UG! Sometimes this worked. Sometimes it didn’t. What often happened was I defined the word by how it looked or sounded. I was usually wrong, but I almost always liked my alternate definition better.
FUN FACT: One of my favorite childhood games was ... Balderdash!
