Depraved and Insulting English

Originally published as two distinct collections <em>Depraved and Insulting English</em> brings to light the language's most offensive and obscene words--words that have fallen out of today's lexicon but will no doubt delight amuse and in some cases prove surprisingly useful. Who hasn't searched for the right word to describe a colleague's maschalephidrosis (runaway armpit perspiration) or a boss's pleonexia (insane greed)? And what better way is there to insult the scombroid landlord (resembling a mackerel) or that tumbrel of a brother-in-law (a person who is drunk to the point of vomiting) than by calling him by his rightful name? <p/> A compact compendium of ingenious words for anyone who's been tongue-tied flabbergasted or dumbfounded <em>Depraved and Insulting English</em> supplies the appropriate vocabulary for any occasion. Word lovers chronic insulters berayers bescumbers and bespewers need fear no more--finding the correct word to wow your friends or silence your enemies just got a whole lot easier.
