A different kind of dictionary
Ambrose Bierce was a 19th — century American author and journalist
His most popular book is probably the Devil's Dictiona/y, written
between 1881 and 1881 Bierce’s dictionary does not contain
normal definitions — his definitions are funny and cynical. For example.
in a normal dictionary, the definition of dentist is ‘a
kind of doctor who looks after people's teeth‘. But in
the Devil's Dictionary the definition of a dentist is 'a
person who puts metal in your mouth and takes coins
out of your pocket‘. Today on the lntemet you can find
many websites with more modern versions of the
Devil’s Dictionary
