That Reminds Me of A Joke: Outrageous News Stories that Echo our Favorite Jokes
by Editors at Reader's DigestFrom the introduction:<P><P> "I don't know about you, but I go through life constantly being reminded of jokes. No matter what the situation, a joke invariably pops into my little pea-brain, crowding out whatever it is I should be paying attention to at the time. For example, a few days ago I was walking my two dogs. As one of them stopped to (how do I put this delicately) polish a fire hydrant, this gag came to mind: "Two dogs are walking down the street. One says, 'Wait a minute,' and then crosses the road. He sniffs around a fire hydrant and returns. The other dog says, 'What was that all about?' The first dog replies, 'Just checking my messages.' "<P> "Of course, it's not just my personal life. The news is a font of gag-worthy events. There's not a day that goes by that I don't scan the headlines or scroll through news feeds and find myself cracking up at the jokes they suggest. Dumb criminals, cowardly politicians, spiteful spouses, and hilarious gags? Can't beat that combo. Which is what impelled me to go to the powers that be at Reader's Digest and suggest that I write this book. Which, of course, reminded me of a joke..."
That Should Be a Word: A Language Lover's Guide to Choregasms, Povertunity, Brattling, and 250 Other Much-Needed Terms for the Modern World
by Lizzie SkurnickFinally there’s a word for it: Fidgital—excessively checking one’s devices. Martyrmony—staying married out of duty. Author of the highly popular “That Should Be a Word” feature in the New York Times Magazine, Lizzie Skurnick delights word lovers with razor-sharp social commentary delivered via clever neologisms. That Should Be a Word is a compendium of 244 of Skurnick’s wittiest wordplays—more than half of them new—arranged in ingenious diagrams detailing their interrelationships. Complete with definitions, pronunciations, usage examples, and illustrations, That Should Be a Word features words on our obsession with food: carbiter—one who asserts that someone else cannot be hungry. On social media, like twiticule—to mock someone in 140 characters. On the modern family, like brattle—to discuss one’s children at great length, which leads to words like spamily—Facebook or Twitter updates about kids—and spawntourage—a group of approaching strollers. From highlighting the profound financial anxiety of a post-recession society (bangst) to mocking the hyper-vain celebrity circle that abstains from anything of import (celebracy), That Should Be a Word delves deep into all the most humorous, and maddening, aspects of life in the 21st century.
