このコンテンツについて

 Dive into the whimsical world of The Foolish Dictionary, penned by Gideon Wurdz (the pseudonym of Charles Wayland Towne) and published in 1904. This unique compendium serves as an exhaustive reference to uncertain English words, revealing their origins, meanings, and both legitimate and quirky uses. With a delightful mix of humor and absurdity, the book redefines common terms in ways that are sure to amuse and perplex modern readers. While LibriVox adheres to a policy of presenting literature in its original form—offensive content included—listeners can appreciate the amusingly bizarre commentary throughout. Be prepared for some definitions that might raise eyebrows, particularly in section 10, which contains racially charged content.
