Insulting English Hardcover - 2001

by Peter Novobatzky; Ammon Shea; Ammon Shea (Joint Author)


From the publisher

At last, a compendium of ingeniously insulting words for every occasion.
For anyone who's been stymied by the level of sloth, bad looks and low intelligence of his fellow man (and woman), help is on the way. You can't change the tiresome creatures around you, but now you can describe them behind their backs with pleasing specificity. Yes, "Insulting English "is a user's guide to little-known and much-needed words that include:
Gubbertush: Buck-toothed personHogminny: A depraved young woman
Nihilarian: Person with a meaningless jobPursy: Fat and short of breath
Scombroid: Resembling a mackerelTumbrel: A person who is drunk to the point of vomiting
These and many other gems from our colorful mother tongue are collected on these pages. Now every gink, knipperdollin, and grizely dunderwhelp can be called by his rightful name.
