If you've ever wanted to add a little savoir faire to your badinage, or chutzpah to your spiel, then fear not, help is at hand.

A Certain Je Ne Sais Quoi is an entertaining jaunt through the legions of words, from aficionado to zeitgeist, that we English-speakers have pilfered from across the globe. It includes fascinating derivations and witty examples, as well as all the stories of just how and why we absorbed such exotic imports.
