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.

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.

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.

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. Robert J. Lanier Two Dot, Montana |
