| Publisher Description: The word trivia originates from the Latin word trivium (plural trivia), where "tri" stands for triple and "via" means way. Basically, the word means a place where three ways (grammar, rhetoric, and logic) meet. This word gained prominence in Rome, where people would often chin wag with others at a trivium. This book is full of interesting and tantalizing trivia, but is in no way just a trivial tome. It is written solely for your enjoyment and reading pleasure by way of multitudinous ballyhoo, blabber, blarney, cajolery, chatter, clack, facts, figures, flummery, folderol, gabble, gibber, grandiloquence, hoo-ha, hullabaloo, inveigle, logic, magniloquence, maunder, natter, palaver, pictures, piffle, prattle, prescient predictions, quotes, rhetoric, rigmarole, tattle, twaddle, wordology, wheedle, and yabber. |
