Product Description

Product Description

Boobs, bra, bumhole...everybody looks up rude words in the dictionary. It's a natural thing to do and nothing to be ashamed of. But lets face it, ordinary dictionaries are padded out with definitions for words like chimpanzee, irredeemable and hasten, words which are not even a little bit rude. But "Roger's Profanisaurus Rex" from the pages of "Viz Comic" is no ordinary dictionary. Fully revised, updated and expanded for 2005/6, and twice as big as previous editions, this exhaustive lexicon of four letter filth contains over 8000 useful words and phrases to turn the air bluer than a baboon's arse. "Roger's Profanisaurus Rex is quite simply the funniest book ever written, ever since the big bang", wrote one leading magazine recently. And the publishers make this promise: "If you find the words clopper, fart funnel or Basildon bagpipe in the OED, we'll give you your money back."

5.0 out of 5 stars Good work!, 29 Aug 2007
By Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
It is probably little-known that no other language contains more obscenity than English. In fact, 0.39% of the words appearing in the Oxford English Dictionary were deemed 'lewd' by a recent Government enquiry. The publishers of Viz have been tireless in their efforts to categorise the full diversity of English execration and this is the superb result of their ongoing efforts. It is unlikely that a more thorough attempt has been made to transcribe potty-mouthed vocabulary since Doctor Samuel Johnson's four-volume 'Lexicon of Ribaldry'. Regarded as the Holy Grail of profane scholarship, the manuscript (as reported by James Boswell) never came to light and is believed to have been destroyed by gypsies.

Anyway, I learned plenty here and I now employ words other than *@#& and *$@& - even when drinking among unemployables at 'The Swan and Anchor'! However, as well as many unusual expressions, one finds detailed definitions of more common terms. For example, @#%$%*ing is defined as the process of licking $%&@# (sometimes called %$@*#) from a $*#@$ or from an *%$# (which is, amusingly, sometimes known as a *&@#%!).

Among the less familiar words are a handful that have been taken from foreign languages and adopted into our own tongue. Surprisingly, the Germans have a verb for the act of *#@$%ing a Grandmother's $%*@#$ while having a *$#£@ inserted into one's £&*#@ by a transgendered dwarf with an unusually hairy #*£@$. Apparently $*%£@&$@#*%&?#%@&*£%#&?@$&@#&$*$%*&# is the longest known word for an obscene act (at 36 characters!). Strangely, despite common usage, it has yet to be officially accepted into the English language by the $*%£@&$@#*%&?#%@&*£%#&?@$&@#&$*$%*&#ers who produce the Oxford English Dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars CAREFUL!, 15 Feb 2006
By A Customer
Unless you are familiar with this collection of books, make sure you are prepared for the content. I have to say this is the BEST present anyone has ever bought me. It is the perfect thing to bring out at family gatherings or parties - much better that anything on television. The only problem is that nobody dares to read parts out loud. This book has had every in my family in stitches and I'm sure it will with you too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, 31 Oct 2005
By Dominic Hosler (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My dad got the Viz "Roger's profanisaurus" last christmas, since then our family has incorporated some of the funnier phrases into our conversations. "Viz presents Roger's Profanisaurus Rex" is even better, with double the words and phrases, it really has lots to offer. Some of the definitions are almost as hard to understand as the phrase itself, but with a little thought and maybe some cross reference looking up, the joke is even funnier for the delay!

An amazing collection, with hundreds of words to describe just the one thing. Using this book as guidance, you can really have some descriptive and comical conversations.
