Ass: A Linguistic Journey examines one of English's most expressive, ridiculous, and culturally loaded words. From ancient donkeys and Shakespearean insults to modern memes, TikToks, and emoji-powered slang, this book breaks down the anatomy of "ass" with humor, wit, and a healthy respect for linguistic chaos.
It's part language study, part pop-culture safari, and part cheeky celebration of a word that refuses to sit still. Whether you're a linguist, a pun lover, or just someone who appreciates a good smartass joke, this book speaks your language, fluently.
Includes idioms, suffixoids, global glutes, and the rise of Gen Z thiccness.
Welcome to the sassiest chapter in English etymology.
