Summary

Imagine a world where A was not for apple and B was not for ball. An eccentric, topsy-turvey, wordy sort of a world in which, anonymuncle replaced apple in our ABCs and blutterbung replaced ball. Imagine what would happen if we rescued our endangered, underused words. How much more rewarding would it be to call a big-head a cockalorum, or rainwater dog's soup? What would Mum or the dinner lady say to a child who called her food zamzodden?
