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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A compact compendium of ingenious words for anyone who's been tongue-tied, flabbergasted, or dumbfounded, \u003cem\u003eDepraved and Insulting English\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Novobatzky, Ammon Shea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156011492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156011495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.56h x 5.14w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2002 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2002 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/12\/2002","brand":"Peter Novobatzky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987258376447,"sku":"9780156011495","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98d2483e-b1a4-4270-bdc3-8cf01a9088e8.jpg?v=1683287908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/depraved-and-insulting-english-peter-novobatzky-9780156011495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
