Synopsis

The Totes Ridictionary will help you survive life in a world where textmessage abbreviations and Twitter slang are dancing on the grave of the Oxford New English Dictionary. Everywhere you look in emails, tweets, Facebook posts, text messages, blogs and even real-life conversations words like totes , amazeballs , obvs , adorbs and ridic are taking over. You ve heard it, now understand it. Packed with hilar illustrations and a satirical glossary that ll help you sort the jel from the awks , The Totes Ridictionary takes a totally ridiculous look at what happens when language and technology collide.

About the Author

Balthazar Cohen is a blogger and aspiring linguist based in New York. Rather than get irritated by the totes ridic phenomenon, like lots of people do, he decided to write The Totes Ridictionary, and turn his amusement at the online world's disregard for written English into cold, hard cash. That cash was quickly spent during an epic drinking binge in Williamsburg. (On an unrelated note, he's currently available for freelance writing jobs.)
