Free eBooks The Contemporary Dictionary Of Sexual Euphemisms Available To Downloads
Until now, no dictionary has ever attempted to record the fascinating and often raunchy inventory of English sexual euphemisms. Jordan Tate has confronted this task with gusto and the results are nothing short of gratifying. The Contemporary Dictionary of Sexual Euphemisms is a hilarious, unabashed, at times shocking compilation of every sexual euphemism you've ever heard—and many more you haven't. Would you be offended if someone called you a "back door burglar"? Ever heard of a "five against one"? Would you rather do the "Little Dutch Boy" or the "Little Red Riding Hood"? Along with both a literal and a sexual definition of each euphemism, this dictionary also has photographs, and, of course, an example of each term used in a sentence—all in an effort to irreverently entertain and inform.A perfect guilty pleasure for anyone who ever got a thrill looking up dirty words in the dictionary as a kid, the Contemporary Dictionary is also a must-have reference tool for those just plain too shy to ask what a "pearl necklace" really is.

Depending on your familiarity with contemporary sexual slang, this book will either be one big gut laugh, or a highly educational experience. For most readers, it will be both. Tate combines suprisingly elegant entymologies with suprisingly tasteful photos to make a genuinely pleasurable read. Best displayed in the bathrooms of intellectuals, passed around at a party, or given as a gift.
Jordan Tate will enlighten you with the meanings of all those phrases you overheard in Junior High and still don't quite understand. A lovely addition to every library.
This is more of a pamphlet than a dictionary. More of a short bathroom reader for guests than a fully informative dictionary.
This book is very cheesy, but I will admit that it is informative. It describes many derogatory terms and sexual euphemisms that I had not previously even known existed. It seems that pornography lends something more to the English language after all...of course you can get this same education through sitting in any locker room or Frat house. I might sell my copy back. Of course, you could use it as an adult themed party game where everyone must choose the correct definition for each term...might be fun, after a bottle of vodka.
