The suppository of all wisdom : 140 commonly mangled, muched up and misunderstood words and expressions / by Andrew Thompson ; cartoons by Andrew Weldon. - 191 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm.

Inspired by Tony Abbott's immortal verbal overreach, The Suppository of All Wisdom is a hilarious, fully illustrated guide to the words and expressions we most often mangle, muck up and just don't quite understand. You'll be amazed at how many supposably well-educated speakers make mistakes - from schoolteachers, to newsreaders, to Rhodes Scholar prime ministers. Too often the misinformed flaunt the rules, and that's a travesty. In one foul swoop, this book will make you sound smarter. It is the ultimate grammar guide, literally awesome, and begs the question: why not buy two?
