Product Description

The ideal companion for the lexically incorrect. Here are hundreds of words and phrases you didn't know, some you probably didn't want to know - and words and phrases for sexual practices you had no idea even existed.

His many credits include the Macmillan Dictionary of Contemporary Slang, Slang Down the Ages, Chasing the Sun: Dictionary-Makers and the Dictionaries They Made, The Cassell Dictionary of Slang (published to great acclaim in December 1998), and most recently, the best-selling Big Book of Filth, a survey of 6500 sex slang words and phrases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Filth-mongering In A Day, 26 Nov 1999

By A Customer

If you're one of those people who loves the more figurative use of sexual swearwords, one of those people who thinks Viz is hilarious and someone who laughs when someone uses the word 'plums', this is the perfect book for you. It lists every possible word and phrase for every possible sexual organ, activity, fluid and object. It's the filth merchant's bible: an invaluable resource for every professional purveryor of puerility.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest book I have ever looked at, 14 Dec 1999

By	peter.burbridge@kcl.ac.uk (London, England) - See all my reviews

I laughed so much hurt. This is a very funny book. not for those who are easily offended. Keep it on your coffee table and amuse your friends! (but put it away when your parents come round).

3.0 out of 5 stars dictionary, 27 Aug 2008

By	Mr. D. Oso (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not sure if I have read this book before, however I have seen something very similar!

Anyway, saw this at a shop, picked it up and flip through some pages.

It was FUNNY!

Since I flipped through some pages, I am not quite sure if it's just a dictionary. But it contains alternate names to call the men's penis and women's vagina. Some alternate names for when you have to mastrubate, have sex etc.
The good thing about this, it actually tells you the date it was discovered or being used.

Since I don't read books. I would say, this book is a comedy! I won't have a purpose of having it. Unless you are a sex addiction/ sex freak who love talking filth/dirty all the time. You would like to earn this book and use those terms found from this book to discuss.

I really don't see a reason for having this book:/
