I found this book to be hilarious. As I read I was surprized by how many of the definitions described things we do on a day to day basis but dont really think about. I shared this book with many of my friends and they all share my feelings. These books are great fun.

In many ways, jokes based on wordplay are some of the hardest to create, requiring a great deal of creative imagination. This book is a collection of some excellent examples of creating a word that describes a situation by using syllables that reference the circumstances. Some examples are:

*) Frankfluid - the liquid at the bottom of the hot dog packages.
*) Fammage - to eliminate any annoying noise by simply turning up the volume of the radio.
*) Linenee - the member of the two-person folding team at the Laundromat who takes the sheet and completes the fold.
*) Neutron peas - tiny green objects in TV dinners that remain frozen even when the rest of the food has been microwaved beyond recognition.

For your ease in describing the words to others, the proper pronunciations are also included. While there are no side splitters in this book, there is not a single one that will fail to generate a wry grin.
