Browser's paradise

I can't say how many times I've flipped through the pages of this volume. Hellweg has collected a bevy of wonderful words, and has them categorized into fun chapters. You can be astounded by what words exist, and then have fun attempting to force the most unwieldy ones into conversations.

Perfect for word-lovers

Containing weird, wacky, wonderful words of all sorts, the Insomniac's Dictionary is out-of-this-world for those sleepless nights. It's got love and sex words, fear words, food words, word words, any kind of word you could possibly imagine. (Did you know there is a word for "the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth"? It's in there!) It is very entertaining, humorous, and great fodder for party conversation. :)
