Ebook: 1,001 Words and Phrases You Never Knew You Didn't Know: Hopperdozer, Hoecake, Ear Trumpet, Dort, and Other Nearly Forgotten Terms and Expressions

A fascinating A-to-Z compendium of words and phrases that used to be common across America but are rarely heard today.

As times change, so does language. This volume collects the everyday terms and expressions that have largely been left in the past. Organized alphabetically, it's a celebration of our linguistic and cultural history—and an endless source of curious vocabulary.

Have you ever heard the terms Snaffle, Pie Bird, Fid, or Hame? Did you know that a "Horse Apple" is actually an orange? Or that "Rolley Holley" is a marble game? With over one hundred illustrations, this book will take you back in time and give you a chance to hear from generations past—in their own voice, with their own words.
