Book Synopsis The Painted Word by : Phil Cousineau
Download or read book The Painted Word written by Phil Cousineau and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To untangle the knot of interlocking meanings of these painted words, logophile and mythologist Phil Cousineau begins each fascinating word entry with his own brief definition. He then fills it in with a tint of etymology and a smattering of quotes that show how the word is used, ending with a list of companion words. The words themselves range from commonplace — like biscuit, a twice-baked cake for Roman soldiers — to loanwords including chaparral, from the Basque shepherds who came to the American West; words from myths, such as hector; metamorphosis words, like silly, which evolved holy to goofy in a mere thousand years; and words well worthy of revival, such as carrytale, a wandering storyteller. Whether old-fangled or brand new, all the words included in The Painted Word possess an ineffable quality that makes them luminous.

For the first time ever, every single one comes in a picture shape that relates to the puzzle's theme. So, you'll get such shapes as an ice cream cone (for "Here's the Scoop"); a bowling ball and pin ("Right Up Your Alley"); a snowman ("Snowed In"); and a boat ("For Sail"). And there's more: some of the puzzles have rebuses and other gimmicks, and every single puzzle contains a secret message. To see what that message says, go to the grid, find and circle all the phrases on the word list, then read all the uncircled letters from left to right, top to bottom, to spell out a "punny" answer to a riddle, humorous thought, or fun fact. (The letters are in order--but you have to figure out how the letters get divided into words.) That's what makes this collection a real, Mensa-level challenge!
