History lessons have never been so hilarious thanks to this collection of insults through the ages—the targets of your barrage of vintage invective won't know what's hit them. History lessons have never been so hilarious thanks to this collection of insults through the ages—the targets of your barrage of vintage invective won't know what's hit them. Ever wanted to “air the lungs (1)” like a cowboy or dreamed of channeling the wit of Shakespeare to deliver that killer put-down to an Elizabethan fustilarian (2)? Are you too much of a Medieval scobberlotcher (3) to realize this ambition? Well, you’re in luck because The History of Insults has some of the finest put-downs of all time—starting with the Ancient Romans and Greeks and working through the centuries to the Jazz Age. This means you can dish out the best burns to bacon-fed bell swaggers (4) to your heart’s content. As they used to say in 19th-century London, “It’s more than enough to make a stuffed bird laugh!” (1) Swear; (2) Scoundrel; (3) Lazy person; (4) Fat, loudmouth bullies

Distory: A Treasury of Historical Insults is a hilarious collection of insulting historical quotations in the vein of The Portable Curmudgeon that will have history buffs and readers of humor books in stitches. Full of lively quips, jabs, jaunts and put downs by and about notable figures, it covers all epochs of mostly Western history. Schnakenberg has collected more than 600 historical insults into this first collection of its kind. Included: "A German singer! I should as soon expect to get pleasure from the neighing of my horse." - Alexander the Great "Belgium is just a country invented by the British to annoy the French." - Charles de Gaulle "What can you do with a man who looks like a female llama surprised when bathing?" - Winston Churchill on Charles de Gaulle "Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time." - Lyndon B. Johnson "Avoid all needle drugs - -the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon." - Abbie Hoffman

This is the only encyclopedia and social history of swearing and foul language in the English-speaking world. It covers the various social dynamics that generate swearing, foul language, and insults in the entire range of the English language. While the emphasis is on American and British English, the different major global varieties, such as Australian, Canadian, South African, and Caribbean English are also covered. A-Z entries cover the full range of swearing and foul language in English, including fascinating details on the history and origins of each term and the social context in which it found expression. Categories include blasphemy, obscenity, profanity, the categorization of women and races, and modal varieties, such as the ritual insults of Renaissance "flyting" and modern "sounding" or "playing the dozens." Entries cover the historical dimension of the language, from Anglo-Saxon heroic oaths and the surprising power of medieval profanity, to the strict censorship of the Renaissance and the vibrant, modern language of the streets. Social factors, such as stereotyping, xenophobia, and the dynamics of ethnic slurs, as well as age and gender differences in swearing are also addressed, along with the major taboo words and the complex and changing nature of religious, sexual, and racial taboos.
