Realizing that people remember insults better than any other words, the author has phrased each word as a humorous barb. The result is a vocabulary reference that everyonefrom gangsters to students to presidentscan use to insult and impress.Random House Disney Staff is the author of 'Vicious Vocabulary', published 2003 under ISBN 9780375720413 and ISBN 0375720413.
