Once upon a time, the worst words you could utter were short, simple and tended to be four letters in length. Now things are more complicated. To be insulted as a 'snowflake' or an 'expert' is arguably worse than being called a **** or a **** or even a ****. So what are today's 'bad words' and how are they different from yesterday's taboo expressions? This entertaining guide to the shifting sands of bad language is indispensable in an increasingly divided world in which abuse becomes ever more widespread and vituperative. Philip Gooden shows how and why taboo words and contentious expressions, including those four-letter ones, were first used in English. He discusses the ways such words have changed over the years and explores how a single syllable or two may possess an almost magical power to offend, distress or infuriate. Bad Words investigates the most controversial and provocative words in the English language in a way that is both anecdotal and analytical. Combining intrigue and scandal, the book delves into expressions connected to religion, ethnicity, nationality, politics, swearing and oaths, and includes contemporary issues like political correctness and elitism.

Words have come a long way since they were invented as a nifty tool to help us communicate. We have played with them, made up rules for them, added bits to them and taken bits off. We've gathered them into languages, adopted and defined them. The words we use say so much about who we are, yet most of them slip from our mouths without a second thought. The Book of Words is a brief pause for reflection in the ever-changing life of words, a snapshot of the English language and how we use it today. . Long words . Short words . Old words . New words . Brilliant words . Annoying words From the historical to the grammatical, the biographical to the sociological, this is an A to Z of words about words for word lovers, from 'aardvark' to 'zythum' and beyond.

This potpourri of satire on language use in Western culture will trigger chuckles and guffaws from an eclectic readership In The Clan of the Flapdragon and Other Adventures in Etymology by B. M. W. Schrapnel, Ph.D., the pseudonymous critic satirizes a variety of subjects in and out of academe. These adventurous essays include lampoons on writing, language, and literature, and the collection is a delightful spoof of much in contemporary culture—especially areas of intellectual pretension. Readers will be entertained by anachronistic allusions, improbable parodies, whimsical etymologies, tongue-in-cheek word play, and stunning purple prose—examples of just some of the liberties Schrapnel takes with the language. Dr. Schrapnel includes a wide array of audience reactions in the form of bogus letters from fictional readers, confirming that language and literature are everyone’s business. He also offers an annual list of words that writers and speakers should use more often—a lexicographer’s equivalent to the endangered species list—and coins terms such as prufrockery and grendelish.

"This book is an unmitigated outrage." -Confessor Diadem Donkey, University of TRōPS "I trust the Iwrong of Irak more than Castaspersin." -McDermotley Rantwell, TRōPS delegate to L.U.R.C.H. "Feed him to the "moby."" -Looni Tribal Chief "I don't care what you have to do, sink his boat, kidnap his mother, follow him to the ends of the Midwestern Hemisphere with bribes of caramel lattes and fresh salmon, but catch that bastard Castaspersin and bring him back for sentence then verdict." -Her Ladyship, the Venerable Ris "TRōPS" is the politically incorrect satirical narrative of Forte Castaspersin, a castaway washed ashore in The Republic of Purgit Sowend ("TRōPS"), a curious land whose ruling elite "leftizenry" are locked in cultural war with democratic Mehrka, from whom the Republic seceded. Now part of an Urban Archipelago of similar city-states, TRōPS is governed by Her Ladyship the Venerable Ris who stops at nothing to advance the agenda politics of diversity, multiculturalism, secateur, equality of outcomes over opportunity, and tolerance of even suicidal F'nahtc Welambs terrorists from the Sandstohrm. Determined to eradicate all vestiges of both Mehrka and its President, NoSake St.Texmas, The Venerable Ris relies upon academia's moral equivalency engineering under Confessor Diadem Donkey, courts which seek ideologically-perfect fairness rather than justice, and the media clerisy of Prince Annelid. Glenfiddich Massaquiddick, III (Borkean Logic creator), Shillery Monica-Flowers, Nihil Ozone, and many others exacerbate the split with Mehrka, working to imbed a replacement faith-the secular Theocratic Humanism of Nō. A trenchant, humorous, parody of the Left, "TRōPS" is packed with both inside and outside the Beltway allusion, as Castaspersin's original, quirky, and at times acutely serious examination of TRōPSian society skewers the ideation of contemporary American and European Leftist liberalism. "I love this Castaspersin. He can ride in my pickup truck anytime." -Nosake St.Texmas, Mehrkan President
