| Abstract
|
:
|
In today's fast-paced society, who has time to keep up with both the current trends and the classics of what is "good" and "popular"? The Art of Faking It guides you-with tongue planted firmly in cheek-through any awkward, intellectual, and/or über-sophisticated social situation, using both panache and pithy nuggets of wisdom to ensure you'll never be at a loss for the right words and attitudes again. Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about- from ordering the "right" food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classic.
