A delightful and essential compendium of words, new, old or abused through Brexit.
BLUNDER.
To mistake grossly, to err very widely.
‘Someone had blundered’ (Alfred, Lord Tennyson, ‘Charge of the Brexit Brigade’)
EUTHANASIA.
An easy death. Strangulation by EU regulations, according to Brexiteers.
‘Brexit’ seems to mean many things, but none of them is clear. Fortunately, help is at hand from Harry Eyres and George Myerson, who offer us pithy and incisive definitions of the key terms associated with this momentous process.
From ‘COCK-UP’ to ‘WRETCHED’ via ‘BUFFOON’ and ‘MAY’, Johnson’s Brexit Dictionary is a delightful, witty and essential compendium inspired by Dr Johnson’s original, and updated for our turbulent times.
