YOUR MOTHER WEARS ARMY BOOTS: A Treasure...
YOUR MOTHER WEARS ARMY BOOTS: A Treasure Trove of Insults, Slurs and Putdowns by Jordan L. Linfield and Joe Kay (Avon: $9). Readers may want to consult this handy reference volume before visiting their in-laws, attending a baseball game, etc. In addition to the standard swearwords and anatomical references, Linfield and Kay offer such useful obscurities as muckworm (a miser), siddity (arrogant) and zuch (a stool pigeon). Lively reading--with a few errors and omissions.
