The Big Book of Filth: 6500 sex slang words and phrases

The title first drew me to this book, then it's small size and finally I started reading it. I nearly laughed my butt off studying the Table of Contents. I knew the rest of the book was going to be informative and funny. Green gives us so much terminology for female and male body parts located south of the waistline that I'd never heard before. The book also describes what one or several people can do with them, too. Guess what, the book even offers dates as to when the terminology was the most popular. For a writer of romance novels like me who was looking to beef up her vocabulary or if you're just curious about the origin of the dirty words you heard on the playground or read on those bathroom walls, this is the book for you.

A great coffee table book

Of all the odd and different books that are stored on my coffee table, this is by far the most popular pick. It's simply hilarious. And who can resist gaining the "knowledge" which it contains? A real winner for the fun at heart...

Hilarious and informative!

What a great book! Not only does it have 6500 sex slang words and phrases, it also tells you when and where the words were invented. For example, a promiscuous man in the 16th century was called "Lusty Lawrence". In the 19th century he was called a "bird's-nester." An impotent man in the 17th century was called a "fumbler." I bought this book mainly because I am a screenwriter and I am always looking for different ways to say things. This book is perfect! And it is very entertaining! I definitely recommend it!

Every household should have...

Hilarious and informative reference guide. The history of the "dirty" words is amusing and educating. A must for everyone who has swore, had sex or has a dirty mind. And isn't that us all.
