About the Book

Here is the ultimate collection of the funniest, nastiest, and most outrageous classic insults in one easy reference. You'll find putdowns and zingers from famous literary figures, politicians, comedians, and movie stars on everything from appearance, marriage, and manners to food, politics, sports, and religion. A few choice picks:

On the Sexes:
"Girls bore me-they still do. I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I've ever known."-- Walt Disney

On Food:
"I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead-not sick, not wounded-dead."-- Woody Allen

On Politics:
"Nobody likes to be called a liar. But to be called a liar by Bill Clinton is really a unique experience."-- Ross Perot

On Books:
"The paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover bookit makes a very poor doorstop."-- Alfred Hitchcock

To give a foe an insult or a "friend" a left-handed compliment with the acuity and flair of such masters as Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, and Mel Brooks, The Book of Classic Insults is the answer.
