Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So not at all sure why I bought this book. I bought it in 2006, must have been very inexpensive then, maybe $5 or less, because this is a pathetic book. I've opened it maybe 4 times, the 4th being to give you all some insight into what a horrible decision you might be making if you decide to purchase this.
Basically its just slang sex definitions. AND, I don't know if I've ever even heard half of these words! It hardly makes any sense, you might as well just read Urban [...] all the way through for FREE instead of buying this. Here's some examples:
Pleated Pants: Threads to avoid if you want to get lucky.
Prenook: Casual sex equivalent to a prenup.
Posterity Poke: Sex intended to make a baby.
Himbo: The male equivalent of bimbo.
Drive-thru: Convenient sex.
And here's other words you should expect to see: Jimmy Buffet, bread-crumb trail, brunch, brunch story, baggage, bachelor party, coffee, closure, collectible, coyote ugly, cruising, date, google goggles, groucho marx syndrome, a george micheal, group sex, gaydar, game playing, backrub, Sex and the City, serial dater, etc.
Lastly, don't bother. I'm not even sure how to get rid of this book now- shouldn't inflict this on anyone else!
