Download or read book Going to Hell in a Hen Basket written by Robert Alden Rubin and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delighting in the creative misuse of words and celebrating the verbal flubs that ignore the conventions of standard English, Robert Alden Rubin provides an illustrated dictionary of contemporary malapropisms.Everyone has made the mistake of using a word or phrase that they think sounds sort of right, but isn't. Rubin collects his favorite malapropisms in a gift book that's perfect for bookworms and wordsmiths.Some examples include:- "without further adieu" - Conflation of bidding adieu (saying good-bye) with ado (complicated doings, ceremony) to mean "without saying anything more."-"hair-brained" - Perhaps confuses hare-brained with airheaded. Hare-brained (rash, silly, or stupid) derives from the erratic mating dances of hares, as in the saying "mad as a March hare," though it also follows that someone with hair for brains wouldn't be sharp.-"I was curled up in a feeble position" - Confusing feeble with fetal, but actually makes a bit of sense!-"exercising demons" - I guess even demons need to go to the gym.Found on blogs, the deepest corners of the internet, as well as some of the most esteemed publications, Rubin gently pokes fun at the twists and turns writers put our language through.

Download or read book Throwing the Elephant written by Stanley Bing and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stanley Bing follows his enormously successful What Would Machiavelli Do? with another subversively humorous exploration of how work would be different—if the Buddha were your personal consultant. What would the Buddha do—if he had to deal with a rampaging elephant of a boss every day? That is the premise of Stanley Bing’s wickedly funny guide to finding inner peace in the face of relentlessly obnoxious, huge, and sometimes smelly bosses. Taking the concept of managing up to a new cosmic plateau, Bing urges no less than a revolution of the spirit in the American workplace, turning overwrought, oppressed, stressed-out employees into models of Zen-like powers of concentration, able to take their elephant-like bosses and grey, lumbering companies and twirl them around the little finger of their consciousness. In Bing’s unique tradition of social criticism cum business self-help, Throwing the Elephant presents Four Truths (or possibly Five), a Ninefold Path, and one useful, hilarious guide to workplace sanity, success, and enlightenment that surpasses all understanding, survival.
