Building on the phenomenal success of POTTY, FARTWELL & KNOB, this new collection of extraordinary but true names goes a step further...
In BUSTY, SLAG and NOB END, Russell Ash has compiled real names from around the world that are really rude and are of places and products as well as people. The result of painstaking research, each name has been thoroughly checked and authenticated: you will marvel at the range of naughty nomenclature and hoot at the unwitting innuendo. From Harriet Nicewonger (born Derbyshire c.1876) and Connie Lingus (resident of Indiana, USA) to Dick Swinger (born Switzerland c.1842) and Blo Job (US immigrant from Slovakia, born c.1897); from Titty Ho in Northamptonshire to Dildo in Newfoundland; and from Cock Soup to Pee Cola--this compendium of sauciness is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

Format:Hardcover
I mean, what kind of person would consider spending their working hours searching the world for names which must have caused a lifetime of embarrassment for their owners? Who are we to laugh if someone happens to be christened Fanny Pong, Dick Sprinkles or Minge Bacon? Why shouldn't Rachel Good and George Head, or Benjamin Fillerup and Karen Standing, be allowed to spend their married lives in peace without enduring our infantile sniggering? And if the Swedes are happy to drink Pussi Milk, as they sit at their Fartwell desks in the village of Slut, then frankly that's their business. The fact that this book is extremely funny is no excuse.

I bought this book for my husband mainly because we have an unusual sirname that people find amusing. It's the only book I've ever seen him and our neighbour read and cry with laughter. Really good book and a brilliant present.

I bought this book as I thought it was a biography of my favourite vaudeville act, but it turns out to be a categorised list of names which sound a bit rude. It did make me laugh though, which presumably was its intention. I look forward to surprising the vicar when we get out first child baptised with the hints and tips of this generously large book.

Busty, Slag and Nob End
Book received in good condition, within time specified.
Haven't had time to study it in depth but it's a book into which you can dip and find very entertaining.

Not very entertaining.
Nowhere near as entertaining as I expected! I bought it as present for a friend but was too embarrassed to give it to him, it is just lists of crude words. Read more

This is an even smuttier follow up to Russell Ash's Potty, Fartwell and Knob collection. What I like is the scholarly way he's gone about the (no doubt very enjoyable) task of... Read more
