Depraved English Summary

Depraved English by Peter Novobatzky

This unusual and unputdownable little volume collects more than 300 of the English language's most disgusting, offensive and obscene words - words that have fallen out of common usage and that you've probably never heard, but will never forget once you do. Here is a cornucopia of peculiar appetites, unusual afflictions, unseemly secretions, ill-advised habits and strange farm practices. Who hasn't searched for the right word to describe a colleague's maschalephidrosis (runaway armpit perspiration), a boss' pleonexia (insane greed) or a friend's fumosities (ill-smelling vapours from a drunken person's belches)? "Depraved English" is the filthiest and most hilarious word book ever.

Depraved English Reviews

""Depraved English" is anything but depraved. Don't believe the title. It's a book on language you can read on subway, bus, and plane--though you have to be ready for surprised looks when you laugh out loud or give little yelps of joy. Your choller will wobble as you pick at your gound and, ever after, flat English will give you an attact of rectalgia. If someone is majoring in English, give him or her this book. Give it to your Randy grandma."--Frank McCourt, author of "Angela's Ashes" and "'Tis". "Delicious and disgusting by turns, "Depraved English" is an invaluable and cleverly worked "vade mecum" for those millions of us who (a) are fascinated by sex and (b) enjoy insulting people. No intelligent home should be without it."--Simon Winchester, author of "The Professor and the Madman"
