Dictionnaire des idées reçues

A mischievous guide to the shortcuts and clichés that pepper everyday conversation, this work turns the ordinary dictionary on its head. With the razor‑sharp wit of a master of irony, each entry offers a tongue‑in‑cheek definition that both amuses and provokes, from the absurd “air always contradicts temperature” to the sly commentary on institutions, fashions and historical figures. Listeners will find themselves chuckling at the playful subversions of familiar terms while catching subtle critiques of society’s habits.

The format invites a quick, delight‑filled dip into a world where “accident” is forever lamented and “absinthe” is portrayed as a journalist’s lethal muse. It’s a compact, alphabetic parade of paradoxes that rewards curiosity and a love for clever wordplay. Ideal for anyone who enjoys smart humor that nudges the mind to question the “obvious” truths we all repeat.
