From the Back Cover
A collection of often impolite but always witty taunts from the world’s masters of the studied insult.
An insult can be bad-mannered, offensive, and infuriating, but everyone has surely had one of those moments when we just wish we had thought of a good one. Unlike most of us however, there are those who always seem to have the perfect comeback. 1001 Insults, Put-Downs, and Comebacks gathers together the very sharpest of these barbs from a wide variety of sources with some of the wickedest put-downs from the literary, political, and entertainment worlds, along with many others, including:
“He had a mind so fine that no idea could violate it.”—T. S. Eliot on Henry James
“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.”—Groucho Marx
“A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners.”
—Mignon McLaughlin
“Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it’s open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.”—Dave Barry
“George Steinbrenner is the center of evil in the universe.”—Ben Affleck on the New York Yankees owner
