This unusual and unputdownable little volume collects more than 300 of the English language's most disgusting, offensive and obscene words - words that have fallen out of common usage and that you've probably never heard, but will never forget once you do.
Here is a cornucopia of peculiar appetites, unusual afflictions, unseemly secretions, ill-advised habits and strange farm practices. Who hasn't searched for the right word to describe a colleague's maschalephidrosis (runaway armpit perspiration), a boss' pleonexia (insane greed) or a friend's fumosities (ill-smelling vapours from a drunken person's belches)? "Depraved English" is the filthiest and most hilarious word book ever.
