Habitus Disgustica: The Encyclopedia of Annoying, Rude, and Unpleasant Behavior

2.5/5 ( ratings)

Illuminating and vulgar! At first glance, this reference source, with its scientific, analytical tone and practical, straightforward diagrams seems respectable enough. Upon closer examination, Habitus Disgustica is really a deadpan ode to about every unpleasant, rude, and downright disgusting habit known to man . Through statistics, science, history, and culture, Habitus Disgustica dissects and analyzes the whole range of deplorable behavior in double-page spreads that include detailed entries on biting fingernails, spitting in public, making rude hand gestures, and breaking wind , as well as over forty other voluntary and involuntary practices. The perfect gift for slovenly friends and brothers-in-law, Habitus Disgustica offers something for everyone to learn about—and be offended by.
