Giant Book of Put-Downs, Insults & Excuses! by Maureen Kushner, ISBN 0806920815
Don't get tongue-tied; get sharp-tongued, with put-downs, insults, and excuses for every occasion. Need a dastardly dig? How about: "You remind me of a seat in church--PEW!" Is the teacher scolding you for calling out? Answer: "Would you prefer that I telephone?" Are your parents upset that you forgot to take out the garbage? Try: " It never takes me out!" And there are hundreds more, with fun line drawings that add to the hilarity.
