Very Nice Ways to Say Very Bad Things: An Unusual Book of Euphemisms Paperback - 2007
by Linda Berdoll
From the rear cover
NOT your mother's euphemism book
Did you know that there is an obscene gesture that is both older and more universally recognized than digitus impudicus?
Do you know what digitus impudicus is?
Likewise excrementum cerebellum vincit?
And just what is the Clinton Exculpation?
A shitepoke?
Why is an improcreant male called a mule?
Would you want to go to Europe with Ralph and
Earl in a Buick?
?All these questions and more are answered with wit and originality in Very Nice Ways to Say Very Bad Things.
Euphemisms serve a greater purpose than merely keeping the ladies at a garden party from glaring at us over the top of their spectacles. A few mincing words can also keep lawyers at bay. This subtle art of the insult can exact revenge without fear of retribution.
?Are you tired
of hearing those same
seven naughty words
again and again?
