From the Back Cover:
Here is a lively collection of sharp retorts, pithy pot-shots, caustic quips and polite and not-so-polite putdowns.

This unique compendium of ready wit and rapid-fire repartee can be read just for the sheer fiendish fun of it. Or it can be put to work as a handy reference/sourcebook for speakers, writers, entertainers, managers or literally anyone who wishes to communicate more forcefully or become the life of the party.

Carefully categorized according to "targets," The Giant Book of Insults can be referred to time and time again to deflate egotists, dispose of bores and demolish dummies. Far more than merely a book of humor, it represents an almost unlimited wealth of shrewdly perceptive characterizations of the foibles and frailties of human nature.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
from "Big Heads" He has gone the way of all flash. His head is getting too big for his toupee. His egotism is a plain case of mistaken nonentity. Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his feats in. He doesn't want anyone to make a fuss over him--just to treat him as they would any other great man. He's a real big gun--of small caliber and immense bore. He'd need a hole in the ground to shrink to his normal proportions. Someone should press the "down" button on his elevator shoes. If he had his life to live over again, he would still fall in love with himself. He thinks it's a halo, but it's only a swelled head. If his halo falls one more inch, it will be a noose. He's so bigheaded, he can't get an aspirin to fit him. He's so conceited, he has his X-rays retouched. Every time he looks in the mirror, he takes a bow. He's carrying on a great love affair--unassisted.
