Review

"This frakkin' compendium of Spock-like citations of the terms that left the small screen to become part of our shared vocabulary is a true Scooby Snack for pop-culture lexicographers." —SciFi magazine

A fascinating collection, it brings together 111 of these examples along with complete descriptions of their origins, meanings, impact, usage, and numerous citations from the popular press. Combining a love for television and words, this humorous study reveals how deeply embedded these unforgettable idioms are in our culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun and interesting, October 2, 2008

By	Erin C. Anderson "Lover of "truthiness"" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yada, Yada, Doh!: 111 Television Words That Made the Leap from the Screen to Society (How America Speaks series)

Fun read. Some of these words are immedietly recognizible from TV. Others, you come across and giggle to yourself,"Oh yeah, THAT is where that came from". A great gift for lovers of TV and/or words!
