Check out THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY ...
“Irreverent in its honesty and take-no-prisoners approach, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU is an honest appraisal of words in terms of today’s sensibilities. Sol Luckman has picked up where writers like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce left off over a century ago, identifying new associations for words and phrases to match what they really represent today […] They say many a true word is spoken in jest, and perhaps Luckman’s humor is a well-timed wake-up call to be heeded while we still have time to ask important questions.” Readers’ Favorite

In
this knee-slapping dictionary for coming to terms with modern culture
(or lack thereof), politics (so-called) and life (such as it is),
award-winning author Sol Luckman (SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING) reinvigorates satire to prove that—though we might not be able to change the world—we can at least have a good laugh at it. Then again, maybe laughter can transform the world!
“If
you’re in need of some conscious, fun, and thought-provoking wordplay
then you might start with THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY. Warning: reader may
experience symptoms of higher consciousness, greater clarity, and
general merriment.” Brendan D. Murphy, author of THE GRAND ILLUSION |

Taking
a page from Ambrose Bierce’s scathing satirical masterpiece, THE
DEVIL’S DICTIONARY, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY updates the genre to include
blistering contemporary references and no small sampling of risqué humor
to make adults giggle like mischievous teens.
“I’ve
never had so many belly laughs in my entire life. [This book] is
absolutely witty, 'spot on' and I LOVE IT ... THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY
(Devilish as it may be) adds a quality of 'lightness' in bringing about
such laughter. I do sincerely feel we may each gain by experiencing more
and more laughs in meeting the existing chaos.” Doris Moreau
