Spinglish (The Definitive Dictionary of Deliberately Deceptive Language) - Henry Beard, Christopher Cerf

Spinglish the devious dialect of English used by professional spin doctors is all around us. And the fact is, until you’ve mastered it, politicians and corporations (not to mention your colleagues and friends) will continue putting things over on you, and generally getting the better of you, every minute of every day without your even knowing it. However, once you perfect the art of terminological inexactitude, you’ll be the one manipulating and one-upping everyone else! And here’s the beauty part: Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf, authors of the New York Times semi-bestseller The Official Politically Correct Dictionary and Handbook, have compiled this handy yet astonishingly comprehensive lexicon and translation guide a fictionary, if you will to help you do just that. If you want to succeed in business (or politics, sports, the arts, or life in general) without really lying, this is the book for you!
