Do You Wear Suspenders?


Do You Wear Suspender? Sounds a weird title for a book kan? Well this is the 3rd book of Lydia Teh that I just bought..after Honk!, and Life's Like That. But this time, instead of depicting Malaysians' daily banal life, DYWS tells anecdotes of Miss Eh Poh Nim aka Miss 'Popinjay', a talkative, yet quite annoying lady who is an afficionado of eponym, words and the stories behind the scenes. Undeniably, she's a wordsmith that knows a lot of phrases, hyperboles,or wordy words, and even the history of how a certain word is derived.


Big Bertha, bibliobibuli, popinjay, kibitz, and much more words that she brags all over. My cousin read it and went "ARRgghh, she's annoying..!!! I'LL RIP THIS BOOK TO PIECES..!!!"
"Oii oi NO!"
,
Well, pretty much! no doubt! This book teaches us to BRAG about English...to use it in essays...? Not quite recommended! ...as some lecturers might be annoyed, or worst can't even get what you're trying to convey

To wrap,interesting...a fun way to install new wordy words in us.try read yourself arr.
