The Seven Words You Can't Say on Television order quantity

NZ$ 15.00 each
Paperback
Author: Steven Pinker
Why are some words rude and others aren't? Why can launching into expletives be so shocking - and sometimes so amusing? In this hilarious extract from his bestselling "The Stuff of Thought" Steven Pinker takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of profanities, to show us why we swear, how taboos change and how we use obscenities in different ways. Why do so many swear words involve sex, bodily functions and religion? What are the biological roots of swearing? Why would a democracy deter the use of words for two activities - sex and excretion - that harm no one and are inescapable parts of the human condition?

Join Lorna Robinson as she introduces you to the fascinating (and humorous) world of the Latin language.

Be amazed at just how many Latin words and phrases are still in use around the world today - excluding the favourite Roman insult: sterculinum publicum! (you public toilet!) which might yet make a comeback. Beautifully illustrated with original Roman mosaics, Ad Nauseam brings to life the history and humour behind this world-shaping empire.
