Críticas:
"A definitive (and often hilarious) guide to affect-transformative truth-obfuscatory locutions (that is, euphemisms and other deceptive language)." --Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and The Sense of Style "I never thought I'd say that a dictionary is a must-read, but Spinglish is a must-read. There, I've said it. It's also, brilliant, funny, sophisticated and subtle (although it made me laugh out loud)." --Victor S. Navasky "This statement is one hundred percent free of spin: Spinglish proves, once again, that Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf are two of the funniest people in the world." -Andy Borowitz "[Spinglish] is one of those perfect bathroom books....all our worst neologisms from the worlds of politics, advertising, the military and whatever other industries have need for terminological subterfuge...lovingly footnoted so that curious readers can flips to the back of the book for sourcing." --Michael Ian Black, The New York Times Book Review "A serious, comprehensive, and informative lexicon of terms and phrases that "spin doctors" have used to gloss over real meaning...enlightening and often just plain funny." --Library Journal
Reseña del editor:
The art of political spin is a delicate one, indeed. If you want to succeed in politics without really lying - and business, sports, the arts and basically any other field - you must perfect the art of terminological inexactitude. This handy dictionary - a bullshictionary, if you will will make you an expert in misdirection in no time. Wish you could nimbly side-step a straightforward question without batting an eye? Not sure how to apologise while also. not apologising? Look no further; Spinglish has you covered.

Simply consult this convenient, shoot-from-the-lip glossary, and before you know it, you'll be telling it like it isn't, it wasn't, and it couldn't ever have been.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-best-seller 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! (Your results may vary.)Spinglish includes these nifty bits of spurious verbiage and over a thousand more-Aesthetic procedure.Face-lift.Enhanced interrogation techniques.Torture.Hands-on mentoring.
