Recently, I listended to an audiobook version of John Hodgman's "The
Areas of My Expertise", and boy, if that thing doesn't read like a UA
primer, I don't know what would.

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a wierd angle to the US (or
anyone looking for 700 hobo names, which work equally as well for
dukes of any kind).

Has anyone else picked this up and would like to testify to its UAbility?

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways
to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
