Snarkily, sarcastically, and wittily
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This very cute book would be a perfect stocking stuffer for someone who suffers from the dreaded Always Nice syndrome. How to handle a pointed comment about well you look for your old, old age: "Thank you....I wish I could say the same" (p 115). You will learn how to handle the bimbo who is stealing your husband. How to deal with the bully in your classroom. And how to deal with the drunk in your Christmas party.

This is a funny book of edginess and insults, wrapped around an insightful book about the way we use language. Highly recommended both for laughs and "aha" moments...

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An artful and humorous take on society, language and manners--as well as ample advice for a carefully considered jab to the social solar plexus. Author AC Kemp manages to pay homage to the best nineteenth-century etiquette guides while also giving an instructive and amusing tour of slang, insults, and the art of the backhanded compliment through the character of Lady Snark. Socialites, beware!
A frothy bowl of quivering cuts and curds
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
We find ourselves gasping at the pure vituperative virulence within this postlapsarian veldt of poisoned puissance. Bravo to the cruellant Lady Arabella Snark, the new goddess of jugular gibes, the protectoress of sesquipedalian succubance. Beware to the illiterati, the linguistic lumpen! This book should be required of all vermivorous and verbivorous citizens. It is better than a fork in the eye, even one encrusted with 'AS' and brandished with the kind of nimble nonchalance fostered at Haverford Women's Correctional Facility. Endangerment is imminent: the only question is which side you'll be on, the 'end' or the 'anger' (the 'ment' of course is in imminent). Buy the book to be on the safe side.
