Leaves on the Line: What the British Say... and What We Really Mean

In every walk of life, from relationships, to work, to politics, sport and the news, our everyday use of English harbors duplicities of meaning. We say "I'm sorry" when we mean "absolute nonsense," and write "Yours faithfully" when we're thinking "Sod you " Jealousy, rage, love, affection--we're equally good at disguising them all. Leaves on the Line compiles this secret language--this "double English"--in a hilarious and forthright volume...
