More words, if one would care to assert some "fitting ascendancy" over one's fellows "at the traffic lights of life" -- according to the author's preface. I'm hoping some will pop up from my resupinate subconscious when needed....

Want to know how to cleverly insult your enemies or are you just interested in finding a more high-brow word for the bodily harm you're about to inflict on your brother, or what you're about to do in the bathroom?

Then this book is for you! It's a sort of short dictionary of big words that nobody every uses but which have a practical application to many daily situations. Hilarious and entertaining, if youc an find this book buy it! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 087923928X, Hardcover)

Like its predecessor, this useful, funny, and edifying little volume will give you the right words for any occasion. This second collection contains 600 outlandish (and thoroughly useful) words that will help readers, in the words of the author, "more readily assert a fitting ascendancy over their fellows at the traffic lights of life."
