Summary: English is a Liquid Language
Review: ...and Branwyn documents the steady drip, drip, drip of new words, from the already-well-established like webmaster, trolling, e-tailing and spam to cutting edge entries like prairie dogging, kevork, salmon day, keyboard plaque, stress puppy and seagull manager. Keep it by your square-headed girlfriend so you can liven up your e-mail tennis using TLAs with toy value better than dancing baloney. Just don't get caught or you might get uninstalled (decruited).

Summary: Read one a day!
Review: Fun book - read one a day to your coworkers.Sometimes very funny.The only thing I wish it had was the history of each word. Other somewhat related classics are "The Zen of Computer Programming" and "The Tao of Computer programming" though I don't know if they're still in print.

Rating:
Summary: fun, jaded, quick read
Review: This isn't a book as much as a quick guide to the jaded language of the way new world. I enjoyed it a lot but it isn't a substantial read. Much fun to be had in keeping this one in your desk for those special Dilbert moments.
