: : I'm interested in finding a book or web site that offers a
collection of reasonably artful phrases of fault-finding, disparagement,
low appraisal, and so forth. I would like something that avoids
the purely boorish or vulgar. Vitpuperation might be alright - it
would be a fine line, though. Know of anything? Thank you.
: Somewhere here I have a book of nasty phrases. The title is something
like, The (insert number) Nastiest Things Anybody Ever Said. It's
a little book along the lines of "The Portable Curmudgeon." If I
find it, I'll post the exact title.
Found it on Barnes & Noble's site for under $10 but a note said
it would not arrive before Dec. 24, if you wanted it for a Christmas
gift (!!). It's "The 776 Nastiest Things Ever Said" by Ross Petras
and Kathryn Petras.
