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.
About the Author: Jonathon Green is a well-known writer and broadcaster with a particular interest in colloquial English and slang. His many credits include the Macmillan Dictionary of Contemporary Slang, Slang Down the Ages, Chasing the Sun: Dictionary-Makers and the Dictionaries They Made, the critically acclaimed Cassell's Dictionary of Slang and the bestselling Big Book of Filth and Big Book of Being Rude. Jonathon Green lives in central London.
