The DailyCandy Lexicon

Very clever and funny book! The perfect gift for the person (male or female) who has everything!

Such fun, clever girls.

I came across the Daily Candy Lexicon in a (gasp!) brick & mortar bookstore. I'd never heard of DailyCandy.com, which was born in NYC in 2001 and now has editors in a dozen big cities, including London. When I found out I could go to the site and sign up for my daily candy, I went ahead and I've been enjoying their wit and wisdom ever since. The subtitle "words that don't exist but should" describes the content. Chapters include work, love, food, shopping, nightlife, travel, technology, environment, and holidays. There are true-life anecdotes on every page to show the proper usage of terms. The entries go from mildly funny to bust-out-laughing funny. I'd say the target audience is female with a sense of humor and a spare $15 in her pocket. These girls are way too smart and cynical for their own good and they're well-connected enough to be getting paid for it. The voice is completely consistent throughout the book, so although there are many Daily Candy editors around the country, only one wrote this book. With input from her colleagues, of course. But the characters on p. 15 really come alive through the vignettes, and I must say Simone is a woman after my own heart. :-D Love the trendy illustrations and layout design.

Hysterical Book

I knew anything that came from Daily Candy was going to be funny, but I just didn't know how funny until I sat and read the book in one sitting. Every word in this book should be a real word. I use "phone zit" all the time now. If you need a good laugh, buy this book.
