Mark Forsyth – author of the now-ubiquitous The Etymologicon – was a star guest at the IPG conference earlier this year.

His follow-up, The Horologicon is out now – a book of weird words for familiar situations. Wake up feeling rough? Then you’re philogrobolized. Pretending to work? That’s fudgelling, which may lead to rizzling if you feel sleepy after lunch, though by dinner time you will have become a sparkling deipnosophist.
