This is a short, funny book with the true stories of the etymology of words that were derived from the names of real people. I love stuff like this! History really is weird sometimes. Each eponymous etymology is explained with plenty of wit, keeping things interesting and fun.
Some of them, like the Earl of Sandwich and Madame de Pompadour, I already knew; but most were new to me. An easy and informative read if you like random trivia (and I do)!
