Synopsis
Ass: A Linguistic Journey examines one of English's most expressive, ridiculous, and culturally loaded words. From ancient donkeys and Shakespearean insults to modern memes, TikToks, and emoji-powered slang, this book breaks down the anatomy of "ass" with humor, wit, and a healthy respect for linguistic chaos.
It's part language study, part pop-culture safari, and part cheeky celebration of a word that refuses to sit still. Whether you're a linguist, a pun lover, or just someone who appreciates a good smartass joke, this book speaks your language, fluently.
Includes idioms, suffixoids, global glutes, and the rise of Gen Z thiccness.
Welcome to the sassiest chapter in English etymology.

À propos de l'auteur
David Lilly is a writer, consultant, and lifelong observer of the quirks that shape how we think, speak, and connect. Whether exploring the oddities of language, designing children's books that spark curiosity, or helping others bring order to chaos through data and strategy, David brings a thoughtful eye and a touch of humor to everything he creates. A Navy veteran and business consultant by trade, he's worked with government agencies, small businesses, and big ideas. But at heart, he's a storyteller that is curious about culture, fascinated by expression, and always chasing that moment when something clicks.When not writing or working, David can be found with family, cooking amazing food, tinkering with cars, planning the next travel adventure, or admiring the strange poetry of spreadsheets.

Ass: A Linguistic Journey (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ass.A word so small it barely qualifies as a syllable, yet so powerful it can start fights, end friendships, intensify adjectives, and describe everything from donkeys to dump trucks. In "Ass: A Linguistic Journey," we dive cheeks-first into the absurd, hilarious, and surprisingly enlightening history of English's most versatile monosyllable. From its humble beginnings in Old English and Latin livestock to its modern glory as internet slang, "ass" has kicked, kissed, busted, dragged, and memed its way into every corner of the language. With wit sharper than a smartass comeback and research deeper than a squat, this book explores how "arse" became "ass," why America won the butt war, why you can "kick ass," "laugh your ass off," and be a "dumbass" all in the same sentence, and the rise of thicc-ness, GYATTs, and dump trucks in modern meme culture.Whether you're a linguist, a word nerd, or just someone with a strong appreciation for peach emojis, this book will crack you up and teach you something you didn't know about the backside of the English language. Ass: A Linguistic Journey examines one of English's most expressive, ridiculous, and culturally loaded words. This item is printed on demand.
