Synopsis

Would you be offended if someone called you a "back door burglar"? Ever heard of a "five against one"? Do you know what it means to "check the oil"? Would you rather do the "Little Dutch Boy" or the "Little Red Riding Hood"? Along with both a literal and a sexual definition of each euphemism, this unique dictionary also has photographs, and, of course, an example of each term used in a sentence - all in an effort to irreverently entertain and inform. A perennial gag gift and perfect guilt pleasure for anyone who ever got a thrill looking up naughty words in the dictionary as a kid, it's also ideal for those just plain too shy to ask what a "pearl necklace" really is.
