- W613125514 abstract "In the last thirty years, a large number of once commonplace words, phrases and expressions have disappeared without trace from common usage. And with them, too, have gone a number of goods, services and everyday objects that were once an important part of our everyday lives. Where did they go and why? Lost takes a look at how our language changes and explores the influence of other cultures on our own. For example, the pace of modern life and the influence of America has forever impacted our country's sociological formation, and rapid advances in technology have made certain products obsolete. It includes such entries as: 'Charlie's Dead' - a euphemism used to tell a girl that her petticoat is showing; 'dekko' - take a quick look or glance; 'brilliantine' - men's hair dressing product; and 'Nippy' - the name given to waitresses in Lyons Corner Houses. Lost illuminates all these terms and much more. It's a fantastic gift for all those interested in history and the English language and a fascinating look at times past." @default.
