Were you aware that a fetish (n.) is anything, such as the stock market, falsely believed by primitive peoples to possess divine, magical or supernatural qualities?
Did you know that disclosure (n.) is when they finally tell us everything and nothing changes?
THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY, winner of the 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for Humor, defines these terms this wayâso they must be true!
Hereâs another deliciously veracious definition from this Spirited Glossary for the Little Devil in You boasting over 500 laugh-out-loud entries spanning 160 pages âŚ
waffle:Â (n.) breakfast of politicians.
And several more …
antidepressant:Â (n.) any of various energetic techniques for warding off parasitic friends, colleagues, and family members.
bathroom:Â (n.) where Americans go to argue about gender while the country goes down the toilet.

Early Reviews
âIrreverent in its honesty and take-no-prisoners approach, THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU is an honest appraisal of words in terms of todayâs sensibilities. Sol Luckman has picked up where writers like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce left off over a century ago, identifying new associations for words and phrases to match what they really represent today […] They say many a true word is spoken in jest, and perhaps Luckmanâs humor is a well-timed wake-up call to be heeded while we still have time to ask important questions.â Readersâ Favorite
âMuch of society has lost its sense of humor for fear of melting the heart of the next snowflake down the road. I say, turn up the heat. It is much needed … THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY does this with wit and charm worthy of notice.â Andrew L. Foss
âTHE ANGELâS DICTIONARY is a sardonic antidote to the trite and asinine slogans and catchphrasesâthe basic languageâof Big Brotherâs thought-control system. On one level, itâs light and witty comic relief, and beyond the playful satire, it is scathingly accurate! If youâre in need of some conscious, fun, and thought-provoking wordplay then you might start with THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY. Warning: reader may experience symptoms of higher consciousness, greater clarity, and general merriment.â Brendan D. Murphy
âIâve never had so many belly laughs in my entire life. [This book] is absolutely witty, ‘spot on’ and I LOVE IT … THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY (Devilish as it may be) adds a quality of ‘lightness’ in bringing about such laughter. I do sincerely feel we may each gain by experiencing more and more laughs in meeting the existing chaos.â Doris Moreau
From the Back Cover
In this knee-slapping dictionary for coming to terms with modern culture (or lack thereof), politics (so-called) and life (such as it is), award-winning author Sol Luckman (SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING) reinvigorates satire to prove thatâthough we might not be able to change the worldâwe can at least have a good laugh at it.
Then again, maybe laughter can transform the world!
genetically modified organism (GMO):Â (n.) member of the public who has regularly consumed the biotech industryâs food products.
Taking a page from Ambrose Bierceâs scathing satirical masterpiece, THE DEVILâS DICTIONARY, THE ANGELâS DICTIONARY updates the genre to include blistering contemporary references and no small sampling of risquĂŠ humor to make adults giggle like mischievous teens.
entanglement:Â (n.) quantum physics term for when the sheets wrap around two bodies in space.
treason:Â (n.) crime against oneâs country and its people punishable by reelection.
shadow side:Â (n.) self you encounter when you do not look in the mirror.
