5.0 out of 5 stars Language Hat!
Stephen Dodson's "popular website" is Language Hat! This book will be fun for all, and particularly useful for satirical linguists in need of source material and inspiration.

Also, I think the "similar book" the other reviewer was looking for might be this one: International Dictionary of Obscenities: A Guide to Dirty Words and Indecent Expressions in...

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny, but VERY crude
Got this book for my wife. She enjoys crude humor. This was too crude for her though. We threw it away because we did not want our kids to accidentally get their hands on it.

It was very funny. If you like crude, XXX rated humor (joking about rape and forced sodomy) then this could be for you.

This review is from: Uglier Than a Monkey's Armpit: Untranslatable Insults, Put-Downs, and Curses from Around the World (Mass Market Paperback)

Also, I think the "similar book" the other reviewer was looking for might be this one: International Dictionary of Obscenities: A Guide to Dirty Words and Indecent Expressions in Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian, by Christina Kunitskaya-Peterson. Another useful reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a similar book, July 30, 2009

This review is from: Uglier Than a Monkey's Armpit: Untranslatable Insults, Put-Downs, and Curses from Around the World (Mass Market Paperback)
Ordering this now. Will comment later. In the 1970's i had a similar book, The International Insult Dictionary. Insults in five languages. I lost it in a divorce. The only contested item?

If anyone has International Insult Dictionary i would like to buy it.
