Grace Tierney is a columnist, author, and blogger writing in rural Ireland. Her award winning Wordfoolery blog about the history of unusual English words has been running for ten years. She deploys her passion for history to explore the meaning and origin of uniquely Irish words such as spud or pooka, investigates the people behind eponyms like Ferris or Pavlova, and simply enjoys the humour to be found in kibitz, friggatriskaidekaphobia, mumpsimus, and polliwog. Grace's favourite eponymous hero is Casanova because his swashbuckling life was so extraordinary, definitely not the average librarian.
