The Devil's Dictionary is a satirical dictionary written by American journalist and author Ambrose Bierce.
Description
Originally published in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book, it features Bierce's witty and often ironic spin on many common English words.
Retitled in 1911, it has been followed by numerous "unabridged" versions compiled after Bierce's death, which include definitions absent from earlier editions.
