Fun Fact! The Oxford English Dictionary credits Charles Dickens for the first use of butter-fingers, crossfire, dustbin, fairy story, slow-coach and whoosh.
Apart from butter-fingers, crossfire, dustbin, fairy story, slow-coach and whoosh, Charles Dickens is also credited with coining the term "boredom" in the Oxford English Dictionary, which he used in his novel Bleak House (1852-3), but this has since been traced back even further, to 1830.
