ORDER A SIGNED COPY OF SUSIE'S NEW BOOK HERE! 

 PUBLISHED ON SEPTEMBER 11th 2025

365 words you'll want to keep for life.

Did you know that the Scots have over 400 words for snow or what a binfluencer is?

What about the medieval invention of Lubberland as a place for lazy teenagers or how Mayday became a request for help?

Lexicographer extraordinaire and Queen of Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent does.

From wabbit to dust bunnies, from the strange history of arse to the best ways to describe moonlight, WORDS FOR LIFE offers a full year's supply of verbal vitamin shots guaranteed to entertain and enlighten, to brighten and boost every single day.

From a Mother-in-Law's Dream to a Yuleshard, in Susie Dent's hands these amazing expressions can fix (or at least nail) the problems of modern life, whether it's dealing with unrequited love or an unsatisfactory politician, eating a whole packet of biscuits or forgetting someone's name.

From starting January 1 with your best foot forward (qualtagh) to leaping happily into the unknown (with a drink in your hand) on 31 December, every year is a journey and now you have the perfect guide all the way through.
