Word Myths : Debunking Linguistic Urban Legends

  • Word Myths : Debunking Linguistic Urban Legends

  • Attribution

    David Wilton ; illustrated by Ivan Brunetti

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    In Word Myths, David Wilton debunks some of the most spectacularly wrong word histories in common usage, giving us the real stories behind many linguistic urban legends. The term “upset” (to defeat unexpectedly) does not date from the horse race when the heavily favored Man O’ War was beaten by a nag named Upset (Upset was the only horse ever to defeat Man O’ War, but the word predates the race by half a century). As Wilton quashes these word myths, he offers us the best of both worlds: not only do we learn the many wrong stories behind these words, we also learn why and how they were created–and what the real story is.
