Product Description
No lavatory is complete without a Profanisaurus! After all, what else could you read whilst you're sitting on the 'chod bin' trying not to 'breach the hull' or commit a 'Wee-Harvey Oswald'? Don't know the difference between 'stabbing the cat' and 'feeding the ducks'? Don't know when to take a 'monkey's fag break? You need Roger's Profanisaurus - the ultimate in schoolboy humour (that is definitely not for children). Roger Mellie presents this updated dictionary of swearing that gives a hilarious new angle to many previously innocently-used words. New vastly expanded edition. Completely revised and updated. An entertaining glossary of vulgarity, expletives, colourful obscenity and downright filth; Ideal for use in the home and office

Dr Johnson's Lost Volume,
This review is from: Roger's Profanisaurus (2002) (Hardcover)
If Oxford and Penguin are to be believed the English Language is devoid of vulgarity and lewdness. The Profanisaurus decisively disproves this by showing us how the English Language is well suited for making light of what would be rather dull activities such as defecating and copulating. The cornerstone of Englishness is our sense of humour, and at the heart of this is 'toilet humour' - a fine institution indeed. Therefore we need to be in touch with a vast compendium such as this to remain truly English. Aside from it's importance at a literary and national level, it's bloomin' funny and had me literally rolling on the floor crying with laughter. Well worth the cash (even though mine was a present), buy one today and begin your research into the depths of vulgarity - Woo Hoo!

Funbags for all the family,
By Dr Henry Felcher (Tora Bora, Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roger's Profanisaurus (2002) (Hardcover)
This could be, culturally, the most important book of the century. Not only is it essential for all who love (and live by) the diverse beauty of the English language, but it gracelessly transcends cultural boundaries and allows people of all nations to wallow, giggling, in the dark fetid recesses of their minds. That Norwegians know the word "mapatasi"; that the burghers of Rockford, Illinois, speak of "beef curtains"; that people in the Vatican advocate "getting off at Edge Hill" - this communion of sordid spirits could save the world! MAKE INNUENDOES, NOT WAR!

Profoundly Profane,
By J Chapman (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roger's Profanisaurus (2002) (Hardcover)
Not for the timid or easily offended, Roger Mellie's swearing dictionary, Roger's Profanisaurus is more than 200 pages of the most imaginative filth ever put on paper. Only the most po-faced could fail to laugh as they cross reference one disgusting phrase with another, none of which are suitable to be recorded here. Read, enjoy and then put to good use in general conversation
