[Fictionary] hobson-jobson

[Ranjit Bhatnagar]

"In 1872 two men began work on a lexicon of words of Asian origin used by
the British in India. Since its publication the 1,000-page dictionary has
never been out of print and a new edition is due out next year. What
accounts for its enduring appeal?

Hobson-Jobson is the dictionary's short and mysterious title."
