"The Dimwit's Dictionary": Chosen by "PC Magazine Extra" as one of "The Top 10 Internet Downloads" for December 1999: "Anyone can start impression a bit stupid after writing totally those holiday cards. Let this puppet help you be cagey." -- Angela Gunn. Whereas a witticism is a cagey remark or phrase -- indeed, the height of formulation -- a "dimwitticism" is the converse; it is a unglamourous remark or phrase. Dimwitticisms are worn-out quarrel and phrases; they are expressions that deadening our reasonableness and blur our insight, formulas that we rely on when we are too lazy to verbalise what we consider or regular to attain how we smell. The more we function them, the more we conform -- in view and impression -- to everyone else who uses them.The Dimwit's Dictionary is a compilation of thousands of dimwitticisms (cliches, colloquialisms, idioms, and the equal) that mass talk and compose excessively. Many of the entries in this book are followed by synonyms that may be used in order of the worn-out news or phrase, and by sentence examples taken from a motley of publications; others are followed by commentary; and still others by both. But regular the mere inclusion of an entrance -- that is, one unaccompanied by synonyms or commentary -- damns it as a dimwitticism. The Dimwit's Dictionary will help us in our quest for more purposeful language and writing. The goal is to boost understanding and rouse mass to activity. The goal is to verbalise ourselves as never before -- in writing that demands to be show aloud, in language that calls to be captured in print. The Dimwit's Dictionary will irritate some mass and amuse others. People who smell as though I am referring to them in some of the commentary in this book may be riled by what I compose; those who smell as though I am referring to others may be amused by it. This is an irritation, risible book.
