Synopsis
An unabashed scat-fest supplies colorful and inventive metaphors, idioms, and euphemisms, along with their etymology, for every imaginable corporal emission, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. Drawing on prison jargon, street lingo, college colloquialisms, and classical literature, a leading slang lexicographer turns his attention to defecation, ejaculation, belches, boogers, and breaking wind. More than 4,500 salacious synonyms for anal, urinary, genital, and oral functions-and malfunctions-display the verbal ingenuity of slangsters through the ages. With hundreds of listings for defecation to an equally explicit section on body parts, plus everything in between, this is an amazingly complete volume on everything the body can do.
