Walking the talk
If you've ever wondered what a
Pyrrhic victory is, or been unsure what
a cappella singing is, then the
New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy is for you. It covers all sorts of cultural references. Bone up here and you too can appear cultured and erudite (witty is up to you). It's from 2002 and is available through the Bartleby collection of online reference books. You might find it easier (and more fun) to browse here rather than search, but both are offered. Find it at
http://www.bartleby.com/59/.
