CHIC-TIONARY: THE LITTLE BOOK OF FASHION FAUX-CABULARY

Book ID/图书代码： 12311715B82165

English Summary/英文概要： Chic-tionary is a darling little dictionary of fashion and beauty words you never knew existed. It takes its inspiration from the peculiar and amusing language of fashion people like Tyra Banks (smize), Man Repeller (arm party), and André Leon Tally (dreckitude), and contains more than two hundred made-up acronyms, abbreviations, and afflictions that are certain to leave an indelible glitter stain on the English language.

Have you ever tried something on at a department store without bothering to hang it back up (fit it then quit it)? Or been saved by a Sephora when a last-minute invitation strikes and you’re without makeup (serendipretty)? Are you a dark-haired maiden who’s tired of letting blondes believe they have more fun (brunetiquette)?

Other terminally chic terminology includes:

accessorcism What needs to happen when you feel possessed to wear every piece of jewelry you own, all at once.

bangover The morning-after remorse that occurs after getting bangs that are too short and don’t behave.

dresspassing When another woman invades your territory by showing up in the same dress as you.

fête-abolism The phenomenon in which calories consumed while standing and making small talk at a fête don’t count.

ideal body weight Bradley Cooper on top of you.

prisoner of wardrobe What you become when you turn down an invitation

. . . And more!

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是一本可爱的小词典，里面那些关于时尚和美容的词汇可能是你从来都不知道的。它的灵感来源于性格古怪但讲话风趣的时尚达人们，如Tyra Banks ，Man Repeller以及André Leon Tally等等，共包含两百多个虚构的首字母缩略词、缩写形式等等，这些创意必然会在英语语言的发展中留下抹不去的痕迹。

这类生造的词汇包括例如fit it then quit it（一试就扔）：你在百货公司试用了一件东西然后懒得将它再放回原位；又如serendipretty（漂亮缘分）：临时有约会但你没有化妆品的时候只能在丝芙兰救急；还比如brunetiquette（褐发礼节）：你是个深色头发的女孩子，对于金发女郎毫无缘由的自信你表示忍无可忍；等等。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况：我的注意力瞬间就被这个标题抓住了——多好的文字游戏！这本可爱的小书中列举着其他地方从没见过的好词。这些内容会让你笑，也让人思考。这本书的开本相当小，即使非常小的包也能装得下，所以你可以在任何时候、任何地方尽情享受这本小册子。强烈推荐的令人愉快的读物。插图更是一种享受。

My attention was instantly caught by the title - what an apt word play! I usually turn to Paul McFedries or Robert Lucky for a good new word out there, but this cute little book lists some rare gems not found elsewhere. It will make you laugh, and...think. And it will fit even in a very small bag, so you could enjoy it to your heart’s content - anytime, anyplace. Highly recommended pleasant read. Illustrations are a special treat.
