Bierce, Ambrose Gwinnett, and David E Schults, S T Joshi (Editors), The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary, University of Georgia Press 2001 Amazon customer review: 'Ambrose Bierce, in this hilarious book, satirizes all aspects of human behavior. This lexicon that he has created provides often true insight in to the tacit meanings of otherwise benign words. For example, PRAY, v. To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy. This book is a must-get.' Doshi

Watson, Don, Watson's Dictionary of Weasel Words, Contemporary Cliches, Cant & Management Jargon, Knopf/Random House Australia 2004 Jacket: 'If you are curious to know what 'plausible deniability' and 'asset footprint' actually mean - or if you want to mock the very idea - this is the book for you. An essential reference for victims and saboteurs, Watson's Dictionary of Weasel Words is a serious weapon in the struggle against those whose words kill brain cells and sink hearts. Sobering, scathing and wickedly funny, this companion to the bestselling Death Sentence flushes out political and managerial weasels and their hollow words, lampoons linguistic abuse and strikes a much needed blow for truth and clarity.'back
