Summary:

A virtual onslaught of acerbic, confrontational wordplay, this work--which first appeared in the San Francisco News Letter in 1875--adds approximately 1,600 wickedly clever definitions to the vocabulary of everyday life. Little is sacred and few are safe as the author targets just about any pursuit, from matrimony to immortality, exposing people's willful failings and excesses.
