In an age where “professional language” dominates every conversation, words have stopped communicating—they now control.
The Dictionary of Bureaucratic Bullshit dissects how systems of medicine, law, education, government, media, business, religion, and technology use jargon to disguise power and responsibility.
Each table translates deception into plain truth.
Each definition is an act of civil disobedience through clarity.
When power hides behind incomprehensible words, democracy suffocates—
but when people reclaim their language, civilization breathes again.
This is not a satire book; it’s an autopsy of modern civilization through its vocabulary.
A bold, bilingual work that turns every cliché, report, and “official statement” back into human speech.

在這個到處充滿「專業用語」的時代,語言不再是溝通的工具,而是統治的手段。
《狗屁專業辭典》一針見血地揭開:醫療、法律、教育、政府、媒體、企業、宗教、科技——
這些體制如何用詞彙包裝權力,用話術掩飾責任。
每一頁,都是一場語言的拆彈。
每一個翻譯,都是對虛偽制度的解碼。
當權力說著聽不懂的人話,民主就被偷走;
唯有把「專業鬼話」翻成「人話」,社會才能重新呼吸。
這本書不是笑話集,而是文明的解剖報告。
它讓我們看見——語言如何決定現實,
而真相,永遠藏在那些看似無害的公文句型裡。
