 A.C. KempLinguist, pop culture maven, slang expert and SlangCity.com proprietor A.C. Kemp has spent more than a decade helping the public understand American slang, both on the Web and in the classroom. Her new book is The Perfect Insult for Every Occasion, a brassy, sophisticated anti-etiquette guide, written with the poisoned pen of a pampered, high society grande dame who has anecdotes to share and axes to grind - think "Emily Post with a potty-mouth." The Perfect Insult for Every Occasion tosses aside fluffy new age sensitivity in favor of embracing your inner wolverine. Forget about letting those beneath you eat cake. Once you have mastered the hostility, condescension and irony in this book, they will beg for the crumbs of your mercy. This arch commentary on language and foul-mouthed parody of etiquette books is forthcoming from Adams Media. Now a senior lecturer at Boston University, A.C.'s long-running American slang class at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Harvard Square has been featured in both The Boston Globe and the Christian Science Monitor. Her SlangCity.com Web site has won numerous awards, including the Yahoo! Editor's Pick, and has been recommended by such diverse sources as Collegehumor.com, the UK Daily Mirror and Writer’s Digest. |
