'This is an entertaining work, rich in scatalogical and other forms
of insult; it contains much material from the two world wars and
the field of popular entertainment ... but maintains a fair degree
of scholarly detachment'. - The Year's Work in English Studies
`A delightful dictionary to browse through.' - Sunday Times
`This dictionary can be read for the sheer fun of it - I read it on
a rainy holiday and laughed constantly - but it is a useful book as
well ... and like Mr. Partridge's dictionaries of slang ... will be
indispensable.' - Paul Theroux
`This is for dipping, pottering and looking things up ... Much
marvellous stuff here. I look forward to continuous pleasure.' -
Punch
