With their new book "Turd Ferguson," the editors of collegestories.com take college slang to the level of high art. A delicious blend of the lowbrow and the highbrow, "Turd Ferguson" covers an impressive range of college

This review is from: Turd Ferguson & the Sausage Party: An Uncensored Guide to College Slang (Paperback)

Well, maybe it didn't change my life but it does provide for plenty of good bathroom reading. If you are a fan of crude humor or maybe you just want to understand what the heck you fraternity letter wearing child is talking about when eavesdropping on his conversations this book is for you. And if you aren't into crude humor why the heck are you reading a review about a book with "Turd" in the title?

Fraternity Pledges should be required to have this resource on their bookshelves, next to Webster's, Bartlett's, and Cliff's Notes. These two authors will have you in stitches recalling (or trying to forget) all of these terms!
