Description Description
The new profanisaurus celebrating Viz's 40th Anniversary. Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, first published in 1869, is rightly lauded as one of the greatest achievements of world literature. Indeed no less an authority than John Galsworthy thought it “…the best novel that had ever been written.”

But does that monumental book contain, anywhere amongst its half-million words, exhaustively cross-referenced definitions for the thick end of 20,000 four-letter-words, obscene expressions and disgusting turns of phrase? 

Does it bollocks.

This book, War and Piss, does. It brings together for the first time every single entry from Roger’s Profanisaurus, the constantly-growing dictionary of swearing that is updated every five weeks in Viz Comic, Britain’s third or fourth funniest magazine*.

*Fifth if you include Practical Caravanning

Completely revised and updated, War and Piss is an epic romp through the foulest sewers of the English language. Inside its pages, you will find

* Over 200 witty things to say before breaking wind
* Over 300 witty things to say after breaking wind
* 150 words for that bit of skin between your clackerbag and your nipsy

So if you need to describe something that you just did in the toilet, something you just did while your significant other nipped to the shops, or simply need something to shout after dropping a car battery on your foot, remember …

There’s a word for that in War and Piss.

Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Viz’s own dictionary of slang, Roger’s Profanisaurus.

Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (“the Man on the Telly”) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Viz’s unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comic’s self-effacing slogan that ‘it’s not as funny as it used to be’, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
