Viz 40th Anniversary Profanisaurus: War and Piss

I started reading it on a busy train. People must have thought I was some sort of middle-aged loon. You can only be so discrete when constantly chuckling and wiping away tears of laughter - seriously. It felt like the shortest trip ever. The combination of extremely well written, articulate English discussing juvenile toilet and sexual humour gives it the edge. The forward is by Professor Brian Cox... if that's genuine then what a bloke!Will be buying lots of copies for those friends who are as childish and immature as I can be. Not suitable for grannies.

I can't get past one page without wetting myself!

Thorough and authoritative. No fan of the English language should be without a copy. Guaranteed to give hours of laughs while providing a real education. The only criticisms I would make is that the entries have a bit of a bias towards nouns and that at six hundred plus pages the volume's a bit bulky to hide up your cashmere jumper if the vicar and his/her wife pop round unexpectedly for tea.

Laugh out loud funny, if you have a sense of humour around gutter level. If not, then this book with be like reading Voltaire in Bulgarian. You just won't get it. I found myself reading meanings and having to look up other words within those meanings.

An essential guide to the use of profanity.There are a few omissions which l shall take great delight in addressing via the email link.A joyous read on the can.
