Do you ever wish you had the perfect word for a person who boasts incessantly (blatteroon) or only works when someone is watching (eyeservant)? Joe Gillard, founder of the popular online destination History Hustle, has uncovered unique words from the past that are just begging to be brought back into modern use.

Complete with hilarious example sentences and cheeky historical art, this collection proves that some things — from procrastination to sleeping in — never change.

SNOLLYGOSTER . . . a dishonest politician
COLLYWOBBLES . . . stomach pain from nervous anxiety
DOUNDRINS . . . afternoon drinks
