From the Back Cover
An insult can be offensive and infuriating, but we've all had those moments where we just wish we had come up with a good one. Even better, having the
perfect comeback to one of these rude remarks brings us all the personal
satisfaction in the world. 1001 Insults, Put-downs, & 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 has become the oldest living cute boy in the world.”
―Anna Quindlen on Paul McCartney
“I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.”―Groucho Marx
“When you go to the mind reader, do you get half price?”―David Letterman
Clare Booth Luce stood aside and gestured Dorothy Parker to precede her through a door, saying “Age before beauty.” Parker swept on, saying only
“Pearls before swine.”
“George Steinbrenner is the center of evil in the universe.”
―Ben Affleck on the New York Yankees owner
