A Humorless Treatise on Onomastics (2014)
Onomastics is the study of names, and this zine is all about names for things.
Questions addressed in this zine include: Why are there so many nicknames for hot dogs and so few for french fries? Why call a cat just one thing when it doesn't care if it has a million names? Why use the right word for something when it's so much more fun to make up a nonsensical one?
