About Schott's Vocab
Schott’s Vocab is a repository of unconsidered
lexicographical trifles — some serious, others frivolous, some
neologized, others newly newsworthy.
Each day, Schott's Vocab explores news sites around the world to find
words and phrases that encapsulate the times in which we live or shed
light on a story of note. If language is the archives of history, as
Emerson believed, then Schott’s Vocab is an attempt to index those
archives on the fly.
Ben Schott is the author of “Schott’s Original
Miscellany,” its two sequels, and the yearbook “Schott’s Almanac.” He is
a contributing columnist to The Times’s Op-Ed page. He lives in London
and New York.
