Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
When you're ready to let somebody have it who richly deserves it, why not call Shakespeare to help you find the right insult -- or Churchill, Mark Twain, Harry Truman, Dorothy Parker, or Tallulah Bankhead. Try these on for inspiration. Warning: this is not a politically correct collection -- it's an equal opportunity insulter, without regard to race, creed, gender, or political persuasion.
Synopsis
Sticks and stones may break your bones-but these zingers
really hurt! This arsenal of insults features the world's all-time great poisoners, such as Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, and G.B. Shaw. More surprising is Gerald Ford's barb at Ronald Reagan: "He doesn't dye his hair; he's just prematurely orange." Insults are arranged alphabetically by the targeted people and topics.
