About this book

Insulting English by Novobatzky, Peter. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312272081.

At last, a compendium of ingeniously insulting words for every occasion. For anyone whos been stymied by the level of sloth, bad looks and low intelligence of his fellow man (and woman), help is on the way. You cant change the tiresome creatures around you, but now you can describe them behind their backs with pleasing specificity. Yes, Insulting English is a users guide to little-known and much-needed words that include: Gubbertush: Buck-toothed person Hogminny: A depraved young woman Nihilarian: Person with a meaningless job Pursy: Fat and short of breath Scombroid: Resembling a mackerel Tumbrel: 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.
