Dictionary of Insulting Quotations

More about the book

Sticks and stones may break your bones-but these zingers really hurt! This arsenal of insults features the world's all-time great poisoners, such as Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, and G.B. Shaw. More surprising is Gerald Ford's barb at Ronald Reagan: "He doesn't dye his hair; he's just prematurely orange." Insults are arranged alphabetically by the targeted people and topics.
