Description
Dirty-minded word nerds and lewd linguistics lovers will derive unadulterated pleasure from this new title by legendary dictionary imprint Chambers. More than a list of vulgar words and salacious slang, it explores why we deem some words as inappropriate or taboo, and reveals 'good words' that have surprisingly naughty origins. Come and leer at the origins of swear words, sexual lingo, inappropriate idioms, violent vocabulary, terminology for bodily functions - and more.
