About the item

This original, entertaining, and surprising book is a natural history of things we wish we didn't say (but do), as well as a look at what happens in American culture (and others) when we do (and wish we didn't). Covering a vast array of verbal blunders, from Spoonerisms to malapropisms to "uh" and "um," linguist and author Erard provides a look into the science to explain why they happen and a look at society for how they're received in everyday life, in politics, and in the popular culture. One exceptional chapter covers where we got the sense that good speaking is necessarily umless; another chapter explains how Sigmund Freud got into slips of the tongue to begin with -- and how he wasn't the first to hunt and collect them. Full of entertaining examples, Um... is essential reading for talkers and listeners of all stripes.
