Did you ever wonder why the simplest things can be become so difficult in our society? One example is diseases or illnesses that are diagnosed, and a common one is eczema.
What is eczema? Eczema is simply a skin rash. But by calling it a complicated name, most people simply don't understand.
The same thing happens with words in the English language. Long or complicated words are needlessly used to describe simple things. This book takes the "if you can't beat them, join them" attitude to a ridiculous extreme.
Some examples of technical phrases used to describe simple things in this book include:
•Horizontal Slumber Session - sleep
•Canine Verbal Outcry - bark
•Marsupial Weather Prognosticator - groundhog
