A merger has taken place between Peter Novobatzky and Ammon Shea's books Depraved English and Insulting English. The result? Depraved and Insulting English. "Some of the entries are lascivious," the authors say, "some revolting, and others derogatory. A few are all of these things." This book will provide blissful browsing for anyone who ever got a fourth-grade thrill from looking up naughty words in the dictionary or, later, felt a frisson of pleasure from using obscure but racy words that few others understood. Many of the terms here--such as coprolagnia, cypripareunia, hybristophiliac, peotillomian, and sacofricosis--sound downright illicit. More intriguing are the words that sound perfectly acceptable, like blissom, feist, and plooky. But watch out for the plooky fellow who lets out a feist when he blissoms; he's actually a pimply guy who farts silently while copulating with ewes. Eeew. --Jane Steinberg
Book Description
Originally published as two distinct collections, Depraved and Insulting English brings to light the language's most offensive and obscene words--words that have fallen out of today's lexicon but will no doubt delight, amuse, and in some cases prove surprisingly useful. Who hasn't searched for the right word to describe a colleague's maschalephidrosis (runaway armpit perspiration) or a boss's pleonexia (insane greed)? And what better way is there to insult the scombroid landlord (resembling a mackerel) or that tumbrel of a brother-in-law (a person who is drunk to the point of vomiting) than by calling him by his rightful name?
A compact compendium of ingenious words for anyone who's been tongue-tied, flabbergasted, or dumbfounded, Depraved and Insulting English supplies the appropriate vocabulary for any occasion. Word lovers, chronic insulters, berayers, bescumbers, and bespewers need fear no more--finding the correct word to wow your friends or silence your enemies just got a whole lot easier.

Perfect light reading for the linguistic connoisseur.......2004-03-24
I received this as a gift and have since bought it for others. Is truly as it describes itself - a reference book that you can start reading at any page.
The only problem is that you find yourself reading too much at a time, and the definitions will stick as memorable, but the words don't. Often at work I have really wanted to call someone "an odor resulting from the belching of an intoxicated person" but the specific word escaped me. Read slowly and try to use a word a day to get the most out of this book.
The gems of this book are the words that sound so dirty but actually have very appropriate meanings. Example: Who wouldn't get upset when called a "pricklouse"? Me, because I know it just means "tailor".
This is a perfect gift for the word (or insult) enthusiast who has everything.
Funny and, at times.... useful!.......2003-03-03
Though I wished this book was a little more organized (beyond simple alphabetizing), I still found it most useful. Great vocabulary to have, especially when you want to let someone have a peice of your mind but don't actually want them to hear you... but you kind of do... but don't... you know the situation.. this book is the key to solving that paradox! So the next time that jobberknowle takes 11 items to the 10-items-or-less isle at the grocery store and starts to pay with a check, you'll find yourself speaking to him/her on terms they aren't familiar with!! Ever been around people who spoke a different language than you, and you knew they were saying something about you but you didn't know what? ...now it's time to level the playing field!! This book is written all in fun, and reads like a book even though it is in dictionary format. You'll definitely get a kick out of it. Some words in the book aren't fully detailed enough to understand, and others are downright useless, but overall this book is a fun read... I do think 10 bucks is a bit steep though... buy it used!
impulse shopping.......2002-10-04
I was standing at a bookstore's special orders desk, waiting and I picked up this little volume. I was stunned. My laughter flowed like water in Niagra. I've used several of the lovely words, with friends and associates. Last night at my poker game I gave a small educational lecture about the english language, and made sure to keep my drink next to me - so with my compatriots newfound knowledge, they would not find a moment to leint my beer. I recommend this book to anyone that find's language interesting and/or useful.
Quite amusing, really.......2002-08-30
Can't say that I expected to find this sort of stuff to be funny, but I'll admit I was wrong. Rarely have I laughed like this at a book.
Book Description
At last, a compendium of ingeniously insulting words for every occasion.For anyone who's been stymied by the level of sloth, bad looks, and low intelligence of his fellow man (and woman), help is on the way.

What's the word for an offensive, rude eater? Gundygut. Or a revolting parasite? Lickspigot. A person with a big nose? Conky. They're all here, along with sample sentences and correct pronunciations. Finally, a sourcebook for insulting the ginks (insignificant people) and knipperdollins (fanatical idiots) who make the world such a turdefied place (yes, that means "turned to shit").

Pretty good!.......2003-06-29
This book's pretty useful if your looking for specific words to be used on specific people........ that you despise! Ensoy!!!
A swimmingly good read!!!.......2001-12-20
There is only one thing that need be said about this book and that is that it is funny. It is laugh out loud when you're reading it alone funny. It is also deliciously vulgar. Not quite too good to be true, but almost.
superb wit.......2001-12-20
Quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. Warning: do not give this book to anyone who is easily offended. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth it.
The right word just when you need it.......2001-12-17
Okay, so the guy is a simple-minded little glump.
The trouble is, sometimes those simple-minded glump have simple-minded big fists that can do a complex rearrangement of your face before you get a chance to say "But, I mean that in a nice way."
So, the next time a self-important little man upsets you, just call him a cockalorum. If he's as dumb as you suspect, tell him it really flatters his personality; if he's smart, you're taking our chances in using any insults -- deserved or naught. It may show that you are a dunderwhelp ? -- that's a detestable numbskull. Or perhaps you could call him a peniculas ? Look that up in your Latin dictionary.
A favorite of mine is "snollygoster" -- that's an unprincipled politician. Nah, George Bush wouldn't be that, would he ? Of course not. Let's just say he's an empleomaniac entheomaniac -- relax, he won't know what it means until he can find a dictionary. (Even then he might look it up as "impleomaniac.") An emploeomaniac is a person who is excessively eager to hold public office. An entheimaniac is someone who is literally insane about religion.
Or would you just prefer to call me a "philodox" ? It applies to those who writes opinionated reviews.
It's a fun book. Granted, you're not likely to memorize a couple of dozen of these words and drop them into casual conversation. Instead, the delight comes from seeing the words and reading the descriptions; some are so fitting, so perfectly fitting -- especially to be used behind someone's back (to be sure of avoiding any big stupid fists).
These aren't the usual words you find in a dictionary. On my computer, every one is flagged by SpelChek. If you want to be truly insulting, and who doesn't have at least a few friends who need to be truly insulted, it's why you need the book
Naffin. Now, there's a nice gentle-sounding term. Almost affectionate. It describes a person who is almost an idiot. Ever meet a shotclog ? That's a nasty person who is tolerated because he's buying all the drinks. Even at that, it's probably best not to use the term until he quits buying the drinks and leave.
We all know what "geek" means, but what about "gink." It's an insignificant person. Perhaps, instead of the too-often-heard "it looks like ...," it would be better just to say it looks grizely -- it means extraordinarily ugly. You've all heard about "impeccable" as praise ? How about "peccable" ? Yes, it's a real world, it means liable to sin.
Once, many years ago, I knew a publisher whose favorite term was "cretin." Unfortunately, in his limited acumen, he was never able to come up with a new word and he soon bored everyone with his snoutband attitude.
Well, if nothing else, you may conclude that I'm a sophomaniac. I won't tell you what that means -- instead, buy the book.
Delightful, empowering, strange, funny.......2001-06-19
This innocent-looking little hardcover book will arm you with wonderful, little-known words that are perfect for describing all mannner of offensive people (compulsive shouters, men who wear too much cologne, unpleasant drinking companions tolerated only because they are buying the booze, and on and on). Surprises abound in this no-holds-barred tour of the rich underbelly of our language. Everyone will find something useful and funny in it. in it. Nicely illustrated, with amusing sample sentences, anecdotes and histories of the words included. A cool gift.

The Harder They Fall: Celebrities Tell Their Real-Life Stories of Addiction and Recovery
ASIN: 1891620932
Release Date: 2000-12-26 |
Book Description
The brilliant, famously neurotic comedian tells the story of his recovery from alcoholism through profoundly honest, often hilarious short takes on family, childhood, work, success, sex, love, drinking, therapy, eating disorders, comedy, creativity, and the human condition.
Richard Lewis is one of the most gifted and successful comedians in America and one of those most respected by his peers. The Chicago Tribune has called him "the most audacious wordsmith since Lenny Bruce." But at the age of 44, at the height of his success, Lewis found himself on a gurney in the ER, toxic with alcohol and hallucinating from excess drug use. The same neuroses and dysfunctions that had been the basis for his successful stage persona and that had generated so much wonderful material for comedy, had, it seemed, turned on him.
How he got to that point, how he got on the road to recovery, and how he copes with being Richard Lewis sober on a daily basis are the subjects of this very funny, deeply honest, inspiring but unsentimental book. With the same fearlessness, wild energy, and coruscating humor that have defined his talent as a comedian, Lewis re-creates scenes from his childhood and of his Hollywood escapades; imagines what Jackie Mason, Woody Allen, and Rodney Dangerfield might say on the subject of whether he should commit suicide; shares the gory details of his secret obsessions with food and women; holds forth on the difficulties of being a man and of having satisfying relationships; and talks about what it's like to be a "recovering lunatic" who occasionally, finally, feels like a human being.
Customer Reviews:
depressing.......2004-05-25
I love Richard Lewis, but this book was actually ... depressing. I had to stop reading and just skim the rest. It was repetitious. I never really understood what pain of his childhood he was trying to escape by drinking. I think some editor should have fixed the tone to make it either funnier or more-serious-and-readable. It was too shticky to be meaningful, but too serious to be funny.
Painful, shocking......a soul stripped bare........2004-05-06
I would personally like to hit Mr. Lewis on the head for his three year romance with one of the greatest fantasy figures of the seventies, Baronss Nina van Pallandt. If you were a teenage or adult male at that time, you were reduced to jelly by her picture. You knew she was not for mere mortals but for billionaire mega studs in Cannes, or on the Riviera.
So who gets her? A shleppy Jewish standup comic from NY, whose father was, and this is so perfect, and so very Jewish, a caterer.
As a barmitzvah bandleader, I have spent many years fighting, working with, and plotting the forceful overthrow of many Jewish caterers. Not one of whose children ever dated anyone faintly resembling Nina van Pallandt.
Let me say this. Being a standup comedien is one of the most difficult jobs there is. Mr. Lewis succeeded admirably, and yet his personal demons, or many would say his progammed genes, and the chemical constuct of his body resulted in a breakdown fueled by drugs and alchohol. The scenario is familiar and Mr. Lewis tells it well. My vocabulary contains many of the profanities used by Mr. Lewis, but I think it was a wrong decision to use them this liberally. Mr. Lewis describes his father as the Lee J. Cobb waterfront union leader in "On the Waterfront". You know how the longshoremen speak. The only profanity in the movie was when Brando said to Karl Malden, the priest, "You go to hell". That's it. Not bad for one of the greatest movies ever made.
My life has paralleld Mr. Lewis. It's a war with no armistace, and he seems to be doing well, and I wish him well. Those who like the book may want to see "Drunks", a pretty good movie starring Mr. Lewis, and the late Howard Rollins.
Applause for Lewis!.......2002-11-05
Lewis does a great job describing the insanity of his addiction and the depths in which it can take a person. I give him a lot of credit to be as bold as he was. Lewis writes of issues, episodes, and obsessions that might be harshly criticized by anyone, but to another alcoholic/addict, these events are all too real. Lewis doesn't hold anything back -- his humor and neurotic personality give this book layers of dynamic energy. Addicted or not, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants or needs to know about the perverse, insidious nature of addiction. Lewis has the strength to discover himself, the courage to face his addiction, and the candor to give it a voice. We can all learn from this intriguing and provocative story. To Lewis I say -- keep working it baby 'cause you're worth it! One day at a time.
Honest, Hilarious, Scary and Ultimately Spiritual.......2002-02-23
I didn't think I had a drinking problem--and still don't but for sure I have an addict's state of mind in a myriad of other areas and thanks to Mr. Lewis' amazingly candid memoir it has given me the courage to keep an eye out on myself before I could conceivably fall into the hell he did--and yet--his story gives such hopefulness and good advice I heartily recommend it to anyone who`like myself has doubts about one's own manner of living or those of loved ones.
This should have been TWO books!.......2001-12-19
As a recovering alcoholic with 5 years of sobriety under my belt, I can say that Richard Lewis shows a great deal of insight regarding the issues of addiction and recovery. It is unfortunate that one must plow thru so much dross to uncover the gems.
I think the book would have been much stronger if he had focused on his alcoholism and his success with it. I understand that there is a strong need for honesty in recovery; however, I would have preferred he address his sexual addiction and his eating disorder by simply saying that he is still struggling with them and hopes someday to write of his success with them.
Because he did not list his acknowledgements until the end, I read thru the whole book wondering if he had simply typed it up himself, run a spell-check on it, and bundled it off to the publisher with the instructions, "Don't change a comma!!" So I have to agree with an earlier reviewer who stated that the book needs a good editing. It's unfortunate that it did not get this treatment. It is a good book. With strong editing, it could have been a great book.
I do look forward to hearing of Richard's continuing success in the future.

Book Description
Prior to the stock market crash of 1929 American music still possessed a distinct tendency towards elitism, as songwriters and composers sought to avoid the mass appeal that critics scorned. During the Depression, however, radio came to dominate the other musical media of the time, and a new era of truly popular music was born. Under the guidance of the great Duke Ellington and a number of other talented and charismatic performers, swing music unified the public consciousness like no other musical form before or since. At the same time the enduring legacies of Woody Guthrie in folk, Aaron Copeland in classical, and George and Ira Gershwin on Broadway stand as a testament to the great diversity of tastes and interests that subsisted throughout the Great Depression, and play a part still in our lives today. The lives of these and many other great musicians come alive in this insightful study of the works, artists, and circumstances that contributed to making and performing the music that helped America through one of its most difficult times. The American History through Music series examines the many different styles of music that have played a significant part in our nation's history. While volumes in this series show the multifaceted roles of music in our culture, they also use music as a lens through which readers may study American social history. The authors present in-depth analysis of American musical genres, significant musicians, technological innovations, and the many connections between music and the realms of art, politics, and daily life. Chapters present accessible narratives on music and its cultural resonations Music theory and technique is broken down for the lay reader Each volume presents a chapter of alphabetically arranged entries on significant people and terms

This outstanding reference volume is also a terrific read........2006-10-14
In the 1930's America was experiencing it's most trying economic downtown.
Fully 25% of the population was out of work at the peak of the Great Depression and most of those who were lucky enough to be employed were living from paycheck to paycheck. Surely, the sad state of this nation's economy would have to qualify as the major story of that decade. Yet, while it may not have been all that evident at the time there were a myriad of important social and cultural changes taking place in this country in the 1930's. The relatively new medium of radio was hitting it's stride. Radios were affordable and could be found in nearly every home. Motion pictures were no longer silent and the "swing" era was upon us. Great songwriters like Jerome Kern, Rogers and Hart, the Gershwins and Irving Berlin were busy creating memorable tunes that would one day fill the Great American Songbook. And for the first time ever the music of talented black artists like Fats Waller and Duke Ellington was being heard by white America. Sounds exciting doesn't it? In "Music of the Great Depression", co-authors William H. Young and Nancy K. Young bring these and other 1930's social and cultural trends to life. This is an informative and fascinating walk down memory lane.
As a reference book, "Music of the Great Depression" succeeds on every level. This book is just packed with all kinds of useful information for those seeking to do research on this period. But what makes this book so unique is that it is also a terrific cover to cover read at the same time.
In fact, I am not sure I have ever come across anything quite like it. In addition, the authors take the time to discuss some of the less popular musical genres such as folk, gospel, western swing and the blues. The fact of the matter is I simply did not want to put this book down. As someone who has been a student of American popular music for several decades I must tell you that I found a tremendous amount of new and useful information in this book. My hats off to the authors for a truly phenomenal job. In my opinion, "Music of the Great Depression" deserves a spot in every library in America. It is that good. Very highly recommended!
Different genres and styles of music are analyzed through this history of the Depression years.......2005-11-06
William H. Young and Nancy K. Young's Music Of The Great Depression joins others in the 'American History Through Music' series, considering American history and the different styles of music which have influenced it. Different genres and styles of music are analyzed through this history of the Depression years, from jazz to folk and classical, Broadway to popular music. Biographical sketches of influential musicians of the times are included, but the most intriguing aspects of Music Of The Great Depression cover music trends and how they developed.

At just 26 years of age, Kerry Katona has experienced more than most people, including domestic violence, depression, and a very public break-up. In this memoir, she shows how she has used some of her worst experiences to learn positive life lessons. Through her own experience, Kerry shows readers how to remain positive, not to rely too much on others for help, not to bear grudges, and not to be too judgmental. Above all, Kerry shows us that the struggle really is worth it. And that the things that really matter are often those closest.

Don't miss this one.......2007-08-29
Hands down, Landvik's best work. I loved it, everyone I've loaned it to loved it, you will too!
Another Winner from Lorna!.......2007-02-13
I was hooked on Ms. Landvik after reading Patti Jane's House of Curl. This is another great read from her. The first chapter was a little hard to get into but I was quickly hooked! And very surprised with the turns the book took. I have to agree with the reviewer's remark about the historical information. I read things I had no idea about! The characters are real and unforgettable. I highly recommend this book.
Lorna never disappoints her readers.......2007-02-09
Once again Lorna Landvik presents a novel that is full of unique and endearing characters. How can we not fall in love with Kjel or want Violet to succeed? In a story that deals with both outer and inner beauty, readers are taken on a road trip that is not only memorable, but life-changing for each of the characters. Landvik's storytelling abilities are unsurpassed. I've enjoyed all of her novels and this one was one of her best. I can't wait until her next release.
Good but Forgettable........2007-01-30
Save this book for a rainy day. The main characters - Violet, Kjel, Austin, and Dallas - are all sympathetic, but slightly underwritten. It was a nice story, but nothing to sink your teeth into. I particularly felt that the author was thinking of what a nice Lifetime movie this would make as she got deeper into the book. How else to explain the immediate transference of love and loyalties following a tragedy befalling one of the characters? (When you read it, see what I mean, and try and tell me that I'm wrong.) The author seemed to run out of plot 3/4 of the way into the book, and cobbled together a hasty ending that not only didn't jibe with the rest of the story. It was a good read, but not satisfying, and completely forgettable 24 hours after reading it.
very enjoyable.......2007-01-22
Don't be put off by the corny title of this book (for me, it gives the impression of a sappy romance) - this book is great. I was pulled in right from the beginning and could not put this book down.
I loved Violet's character and enjoyed seeing her transformation. I loved the other characters as well - the band members, Elwin, the Clamshells, etc. My only (very slight) criticism is that the book got a tad slow for me at the very end but not enough that I wanted to stop reading it.
This is definitely one I will be recommending to my friends and to my reading group.
