520    A garden of delights for the word obsessed: a world tour 
       of the best of all those strange words that don't have a 
       precise English equivalent, the ones that tell us so much 
       about other cultures' priorities and preoccupations and 
       expand our minds. Did you know that people in Bolivia have
       a word that means "I was rather too drunk last night and 
       it's all their fault"? This collection of trivia from more
       than 254 languages also includes a frank discussion of 
       exactly how many Eskimo words there are for snow. So, what
       in fact is "tingo"? In the Pascuense language of Easter 
       Island, it's to take all the objects one desires from the 
       house of a friend, one at a time, by asking to borrow 
       them. Well, of course it is.--From publisher description.
