Description
The English language is full of words that sound dirty but aren't. Words like arsole (an organic chemical compound) and crack spread (a calculation showing theoretical market values of petroleum). Words like cunctator (a person who procrastinates, delays, wastes time) and spotted dick (a traditional English dessert made with hot, thick custard). Seventh grade language arts teacher Eric Groves has spent years listening to his students giggle when he used words like thespian, coccyx, and masticate. Now he has compiled 500 of these words into a hilariously innocent dictionary, complete with genuine definitions of their true meanings. Complete with hundreds of words and helpful illustrations, "Butt Rot and Bottom Gas" is both a hilarious novelty book and a terrific reference for word-lovers.
