The English language is filled with familiar words that, when one thinks about them, are downright peculiar: cooties, doozies, and heepie-jeebies; finks and funks; mugwumps and muumuus; deep six and cloud nine. There's only one pundit to solve these and other riddles of our spoken tongue: David Feildman, who in his bestselling Imponderables? book and Why Do Clocks Run Clockwisehas established himself as the unchallenged expert on answering and unanswerable.Word Imponderables? have always been favorites with Feldman's legions of fans, and in Who Put the Butter in Butterflyhe gets to the source of all the mysteries surrounding our curious vocabulary. Why do we mid our Ps and Qs and not our Vs and WsWhich Toms lent their names to Peeping Tom, Tom Collins, and tommy gun. How does a Weasel go "pop" -- and why for that matterAnd who are the Joneses we're supposed to be keeping up with?Who Put the Butter in Butterflyis a reference book you can't afford to be without. So don't beat around the bush , and don't wait until the eleventh hour to until the jig is up. This is compulsive reading for anyone incurable curious about the idiosyncrasies fo the language.
