Book by Peckham, Aaron Review: Funny book! - I bought this book just for the hilarity of it. It is just too funny how some of these words have come into existence. I would never have imagined some of these words in a million years. Review: It is what it is - It came undamaged which is amazing since desertcart shipping just tossed it in a box with everything else. I usually order just books when I want a book just for this reason. When the order is just books they do a better job of packing but this time the book was on sale. Okay to buy as a gag gift for this price.

Funny book!

It is what it is
It came undamaged which is amazing since Amazon shipping just tossed it in a box with everything else. I usually order just books when I want a book just for this reason.

17 year old likes it
My 17 year old tells me this book is rated PG or PG-13 and has not let his younger siblings read it. He thinks it's funny though and he has a quirky sense of humor.

Great Insight into Urban Culture
This is a great book for those who have no idea what is being said on MTV, VH1, or BET! I can now decode hip-hop songs and rather than just going along with what is being said (because I had no clue what "skeet-skeet" meant), I can now decide for myself whether it is something I want to support..

Satisfactory ...
While I enjoyed the previous edition of this idea, this book left me feeling a little cheated and a bit let down. It seems as if this publisher is now stretching thin a once good idea. Sure, there are more than enough unusual and interesting entries to give you a few nights worth of guffaws, but overall, you can get more from just visiting the website or signing up for their 'word of the day'. I usually purchase a lot of pop-culture dictionaries and reference books, but this isn't one of the better ones by a long shot. Try these if you're so inclined: 1. McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions 2. Knickers in a Twist: A Dictionary of British Slang 3. From Grill to Dome: A Dictionary of African American Slang Words and Phrases 4. The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms 5. Talk the Talk: The Slang of 65 American Subcultures 6. The Devil's Dictionary 7. The Devil's Dictionaries: The Best of the Devil's Dictionary and the American Heretic's Dictionary

great book
I received this book many years ago, looked through it only a few times and has been sitting in a box since. Some funny items in there but way more have been added since then, hard to keep up with the times.

Perfect gift for my silly husband!
The terms and their hilarious definition kept my husband and his friends amused for ages. Great little present if your fella is as daft as mine.
