Depraved and Insulting English（ISBN=9780156011495） txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

Originally published as two distinct collections, "Depraved and

Insulting English" 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? A compact compendium of ingenious words for anyone who's been

tongue-tied, flabbergasted, or dumbfounded, "Depraved and Insulting

English" 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.
