Love him or not, no one can deny our forty-fifth President's sobriquets and word-stock, are more than just media bait! Donald Trump has had more than seventy years of life experience to build his interesting, if not comical, lexicon. Remember "Covfefe"? (At the time of publication, that neologism returned more than 2.7 million results in Google.)"Bigly" or "Big League"? is a fun, sample collection of President Donald Trump's vernacular with which we have become familiar since he announced his candidacy. As impulsive or non-politically-correct some of his language (or Tweets!) may be to some, his words dominate the media, especially from his nemesis (who still won't accept his victory).So, which is it, "Bigly" or "Big League"? Enjoy!

In early 2015, billionaire blowhard bamboozler Hugh B. Bigly announces his candidacy for President of the United States. His detractors scoff. "He's got to be kidding," they say. When it becomes apparent he is serious about running, the prevailing view is he doesn't have a chance. Two years later he is inaugurated the 45th president. In his first term, Bigly supports legislation such as the Clean Lead Act and repeal of the Americans with Disabilities Act. He advocates legalization of vote-buying and criminalization of abortions. He appoints a commission to write the Bigly Version of the Bible and attempts to license churches. He tries to subvert the election of 2020. Making America Big League Again: The Legacy of President Hugh B. Bigly is a merciless satire about the political culture of the United States during the 2nd decade of the 21st century. In the latter chapters, satire gives way to drama. The story climaxes in a national epiphany.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New York Times bestseller that explains one of the most important perceptual shifts in the history of humankind Scott Adams was one of the earliest public figures to predict Donald Trump’s election. The mainstream media regarded Trump as a lucky clown, but Adams – best known as “the guy who created Dilbert” -- recognized a level of persuasion you only see once in a generation. We’re hardwired to respond to emotion, not reason, and Trump knew exactly which emotional buttons to push. The point isn’t whether Trump was right or wrong, good or bad. Adams goes beyond politics to look at persuasion tools that can work in any setting—the same ones Adams saw in Steve Jobs when he invested in Apple decades ago. Win Bigly is a field guide for persuading others in any situation—or resisting the tactics of emotional persuasion when they’re used on you. This revised edition features a bonus chapter that assesses just how well Adams foresaw the outcomes of Trump’s tactics with North Korea, the NFL protesters, Congress, and more.

Successful word-coinages--those that stay in currency for a good long time--tend to conceal their beginnings. We take them at face value and rarely when and where they were first minted. Engaging, illuminating, and authoritative, Ralph Keyes's The Hidden History of Coined Words explores the etymological underworld of terms and expressions and uncovers plenty of hidden gems. He also finds some fascinating patterns, such as that successful neologisms are as likely to be created by chance as by design. A remarkable number of new words were coined whimsically, originally intended to troll or taunt. Knickers, for example, resulted from a hoax; big bang from an insult. Casual wisecracking produced software, crowdsource, and blog. More than a few resulted from happy accidents, such as typos, mistranslations, and mishearing (bigly and buttonhole), or from being taken entirely out of context (robotics). Neologizers (a Thomas Jefferson coinage) include not just scholars and writers but cartoonists, columnists, children's book authors. Wimp originated with a book series, as did goop, and nerd from a book by Dr. Seuss. Coinages are often contested, controversy swirling around such terms as gonzo, mojo, and booty call. Keyes considers all contenders, while also leading us through the fray between new word partisans, and those who resist them strenuously. He concludes with advice about how to make your own successful coinage. The Hidden History of Coined Words will appeal not just to word mavens but history buffs, trivia contesters, and anyone who loves the immersive power of language.

While in nonsensical actuality Donald Trump's campaign slogan was "Make America great again!," it probably should have been either "Make facts fake again!" or "Make bigly stinky BS smell good again!" It's appeared to be the president's goal to transform the U.S. into bizarro world, where up is down, black is white, right is wrong, left is right, and a bouquet of herpes is a popular item at supermarkets every February 14th. Cite a fact? That's fake news. Cite fake news? That's a fact. So what do we do when the leader of our country tries turning reality on its head? Resort to 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffets, binge-drinking, and laughter, not necessarily in that order. That's where author Craig Rozniecki's fifteenth book, "A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title," will come in handy! So join him in attempting to cope with Trump's bizarro world, as he satirizes politics, religion, race, every light topic you're advised to talk about on a first date.

“An elegant, meticulously researched, and eminently readable history of the books that define us as Americans. For history buffs and book-lovers alike, McHugh offers us a precious gift.”—Jake Halpern, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author “With her usual eye for detail and knack for smart storytelling, Jess McHugh takes a savvy and sensitive look at the 'secret origins' of the books that made and defined us. . . . You won't want to miss a one moment of it.”—Brian Jay Jones, author of Becoming Dr. Seuss and the New York Times bestselling Jim Henson The true, fascinating, and remarkable history of thirteen books that defined a nation Surprising and delightfully engrossing, Americanon explores the true history of thirteen of the nation’s most popular books. Overlooked for centuries, our simple dictionaries, spellers, almanacs, and how-to manuals are the unexamined touchstones for American cultures and customs. These books sold tens of millions of copies and set out specific archetypes for the ideal American, from the self-made entrepreneur to the humble farmer. Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Webster's Dictionary, Emily Post’s Etiquette: Americanon looks at how these ubiquitous books have updated and reemphasized potent American ideals—about meritocracy, patriotism, or individualism—at crucial moments in history. Old favorites like the Old Farmer’s Almanac and Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book are seen in this new way—not just as popular books but as foundational texts that shaped our understanding of the American story. Taken together, these books help us understand how their authors, most of them part of a powerful minority, attempted to construct meaning for the majority. Their beliefs and quirks—as well as personal interests, prejudices, and often strange personalities—informed the values and habits of millions of Americans, woven into our cultural DNA over generations of reading and dog-earing. Yet their influence remains uninvestigated--until now. What better way to understand a people than to look at the books they consumed most, the ones they returned to repeatedly, with questions about everything from spelling to social mobility to sex. This fresh and engaging book is American history as you’ve never encountered it before.

Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction “There Kevin Young goes again, giving us books we greatly need, cleverly disguised as books we merely want. Unexpectedly essential.”—Marlon James Award-winning poet and critic Kevin Young tours us through a rogue’s gallery of hoaxers, plagiarists, forgers, and fakers—from the humbug of P. T. Barnum and Edgar Allan Poe to the unrepentant bunk of JT LeRoy and Donald J. Trump. Bunk traces the history of the hoax as a peculiarly American phenomenon, examining what motivates hucksters and makes the rest of us so gullible. Disturbingly, Young finds that fakery is woven from stereotype and suspicion, race being the most insidious American hoax of all. He chronicles how Barnum came to fame by displaying figures like Joice Heth, a black woman whom he pretended was the 161-year-old nursemaid to George Washington, and What Is It?, an African American man Barnum professed was a newly discovered missing link in evolution. Bunk then turns to the hoaxing of history and the ways that forgers, plagiarists, and journalistic fakers invent backstories and falsehoods to sell us lies about themselves and about the world in our own time, from pretend Native Americans Grey Owl and Nasdijj to the deadly imposture of Clark Rockefeller, from the made-up memoirs of James Frey to the identity theft of Rachel Dolezal. In this brilliant and timely work, Young asks what it means to live in a post-factual world of “truthiness” where everything is up for interpretation and everyone is subject to a pervasive cynicism that damages our ideas of reality, fact, and art.

Drawing on usage-based theory, neurocognition, and complex systems, Languaging Beyond Languages elaborates a three-part model that recognizes and accounts for linguistic heterogeneity in an attempt to move theory and description beyond linguistics’ ideologically based attachment to reified linguistic systems.
