The Book of Insults - Nancy McPhee
Paperback - Very Good Condition
£1.50
A unique collection of insults, invective, imprecation and incivility. Nearly 1000 derogatory quotations ringing from the venomous to the merely bitchy. A deliciously entertaining selection of impudent wit, wicked malice and verbal abuse.
Ranging from the literary…
‘Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.’ Samual Johnson
The chauvinistic…
‘Of course, America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.’ Oscar Wilde
And the plain personal…
Lady Astor: ‘Winston, if you were my husband, I should flavour your coffee with poison.’ Churchill ‘Madam, if I were your husband I should drink it.’
To the downright nasty…
‘May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.’ Arab Curse
