Well luckily for us, so has our very own Susie Dent!

From the way to describe those blues you get on a Sunday evening at the prospect of work the next day - the Mubblefubbles - to that irresistible desire to do something unwise - cacoethes. Susie will take us through a selection of her favourite words from her new book, An Emotional Dictionary, so you are never lost for words again.

Next time you go to the hair dressers where you are horrified by the result, you’ll know exactly how to describe it!

Says Alice.
