The new profanisaurus celebrating Vizs 40th Anniversary. Leo Tolstoy’s War & 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 & disgusting turns of phrase?

Does it b**locks.

This book, War & 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*.
