23、aps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” which both, ironically, mean “nonsense”.While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.25.

It has become
29、the preferred tool of communication among youngsters afraid to reveal their innermost self to peers, but wanting to share their lives with others.The way it works is that the initiator（发起人）of the diary mentions it on popular Internet forums such as Tianya and Douban.
