Depraved and Insulting English. Peter Novobatzky and Ammon Shea.
(Apparently a merger of two earlier books: "Depraved English" and "Insulting English", by Novobatzky and Shea, respectively)
Five stars. Every page of this book is hilarious.

I'm really looking forward to getting a copy of this. Co-authored by Ammon Shea, who recently read the OED cover to cover, if you can believe that. I'll be talking to him about it for an upcoming Errata post.

This is a remarkable book. And some of the words are truly disturbing. I remember one referred to a particularly gruesome effect of extreme constipation that still makes me queasy. (I seem to have blocked the word itself, thankfully.)

I'm guessing that copremesis might be the word in question. There, aren't you happy to have that word back in active memory?
