The Big Book of Bodily Functions by Jonathon Green
Whether you're after number ones, number twos or perhaps a map of Ireland there is something for you in this scatological survey. It contains over 4000 words for everything ranging from mucus to menstrual blood, from ejaculation to defecation and features a wide range of lavatorial language from the mundane 'crap' to the picturesque 'flock of starlings' to the outlandish 'Gravesend twins'. The latest and grossest of the 'Big Books' taken from Jonathon Green's Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, Bodily Functions wades joyfully through swamps of raw sewage and picks its way across the stained bedclothes of the English-speaking world.
Jonathon Green is a well-known writer and broadcaster with a particular interest in colloquial English and slang. His many credits include the Macmillan Dictionary of Contemporary Slang, Slang Down the Ages, Chasing the Sun: Dictionary-Makers and the Dictionaries They Made, the critically acclaimed Cassell's Dictionary of Slang and the bestselling Big Book of Filth and Big Book of Being Rude. Jonathon Green lives in central London.
