In this dictionary Bierce compiles the canon of human weaknesses, prejudices, absurdities and habits. The subtle, nasty "definitions" of words expose the very aspect in them that normal consciousness hypocritically tries to cover up. First published as "The Cynic?s Word Book" (1906) and later reissued under its preferred name in 1911, Bierce?s notorious collection of barbed definitions forcibly contradicts Samuel Johnson?s earlier definition of a lexicographer as a harmless drudge.

There was nothing harmless about Ambrose Bierce, and the words he shaped into verbal pitchforks a century ago?with or without the devil?s help?can still draw blood today. The American writer Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) had not only a sharp tongue, but also a pointed feather.
