R – Rated~ish
– if you are under 18 or are immature (you know who you are) please skip this and go some place else – NOW!

At our luncheon Saturday, Waldenbooks (I have whited out the name to protect the innocent book store that brought the books to our luncheon) had a mini-shop where we could pick up books from our speakers and other authors as well as craft book. Being that I am nothing if not thorough, (and I totally caved to peer pressure - yeah right!) I purchased, among other things, THE BIG BOOK OF FILTH.




OMG – I never knew there were so many terms for vaginas in my life. 955 according to the back of the book. 851 for penises; 239 for blow jobs – who knew! Apparently Cassell knew.

As funny as the book is it is hard to navigate as each er, ah, subject has sub-subjects and then sometimes even a sub-sub-subject – for instance: Sex for one – subject. Masturbating the man (pages) – sub-subject. Hitting the penis – sub-sub-subject. With terms like: bash the candle; biff off; bludgeon the beefsteak; choke Kojak; crack off; slam the hammer. And oh how it goes on….

I will say – it is actually a useful book. It has the dates of origin of terms, which is helpful when you are using the book as research and not just for giggles.

Did I mention the book also has illustrations???

Um – I gotta go now, see ya….. hehehehe

Love your post. Be careful about those voices though - remember, admit to nothing of the fellas in the white coats come to call. As for the Little Book of Filth - yep, it's disgusting. Amazing. Write trash and it becomes a number one best seller. Write a work of art and it winds up collecting dust on a library shelf after not even clearing the 50,000 copy water mark. How depressing!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAA I bought one too but I haven't had tiem to read it. Not only did I buy htat and like four other books, I'd JUST ordered like five *ahem* research books from Amazon *blush*

I'll definitely have to sit down with it--the other day #2 asked me who made up cuss words =) Of course he also said he asked his step-mom who said, "Go ask your mom, I'm sure she knows" (this from a woman I'm convinced is cheating on her husband--my ex)
