Do words fail you? Never again, once you’ve become the proud owner of The Complete Uxbridge English Dictionary.

Every word has a meaning, but over the years those meanings change. Dip into these helpfully illustrated pages and you’ll find many of the words you use every day without ever realising that their up-to-date definition is something entirely different.

Words like ‘bunny’ (rather like a bun), or ‘cherish’ (rather like a chair), ‘Cardiology’ (the study of knitwear) or ‘buggery’ (the study of insects), ‘Venezuala’ (a gondola with a harpoon) or ‘Norway’ (a Geordie exclamation of surprise), ‘ivy’ (the Roman for “four”) or ‘faculty’ (cockney for “there’s no more PG Tips”).
