A clever, sniglets-esque book of definitions. Some outstanding wordplay.

i felt I borderline too old to appreciate several of the jokes in this book (particularly the IM usage ones - I am guilty of writing paragraphs rather than short phrases), but otherwise found it to be enjoyable.
"Erin-go-bra-less", "crapaccino" and "haitress" shall now find honored spaces in my vocabulary.

This was a cute collection of words and phrases that should exist to describe some of the things we encounter daily. While most of it is geared to a slightly younger audience than I fall into these days (alas), it was still a hoot to read and at least will aloow me to converse with my nieces and not look like an old goof...much.

What a great book for your favorite style / culture maven. I have to say that "touron" has been used in my vocabulary since living in Wilmington and dealing with plenty of "tourons". This makes a great gift / stocking stuffer!

Hilarious and useful in everyday conversations. People WILL notice the lexicons and will congratulate you on your brilliance.

I have now entered "touron" and "golden paratrooper" to my daily lexicon usage! Thanks, Daily Candy!

My mom gave me this for Christmas - very silly, very funny. The women behind Daily Candy are geniuses who make my life better.

A silly collection of made-up words for the young and the fabulous.

Funny book of words that should be included by Mr. Webster.

A little gift from Ann-Charlotte -- a cheeky linguistical playground.
