Customer Reviews

Jeff Foxworthy's dictionaries never get old...

I actually purchased this for my husband. But I'll admit, I just had to see what was so funny. This dictionary is hilarious! No wonder he was laughing out loud in the doctor's office. You know, you are never too old for just some good ole, down to earth redneck ribbing. It has been a long time since I have laughed this hard. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to just let loose and laugh harder than you have ever laughed before. Everybody deserves to just chill out once and a while, have some good ole fun, and laugh!!! Go for it...buy his book. And laugh yourself silly.

Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary

My 90+ year old mother loves to read and try to figure word meanings. It is a fun book.

Laughter is the best medicine!

This was a gift to a 40 year old male in my family. He has enjoys the book and shares many words and their definitions with people. It is a great book for the person who likes "Blue Collar Comedy" or just a person looking for a good laugh anytime. Enjoy it, as they say, laughter is the best medicine!

"Dictionary" is a Laugh Riot

"Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary II" is a follow-up to the original "Redneck Dictionary," featuring "more words you thought you knew the meaning of." In this you'll find words from "control" to "rectum," with zany definitions that only make sense when you consider what the words would be if spoken with a southern accent. The book is truly laid out like a dictionary, with parts of speech and a pronunciation key. The parts of speech and pronunciation reflect the combined words that make up the new words. So if the word is "magistrate," then the phrase becomes "Madge is straight" and the part of speech is "noun and verb." And the pronunciations reflect how it would be pronunced in the "Southern, redneck style." One funny example is "eyesore" as in "Back off, eyesore (I saw her) first." This dictionary comes with amusing illustrations. The one for geyser (guys are) shows two men in front of a geyser that's about to burst. And sometimes the example sentences are just plain clever --- i.e. "No offense, ma'am, but I'm putting up offense (a fence.)" If this sort of humor fits the bill for you, then you'll love this. It may be "redneck," but it's actually very sophisticated and smart.

Stick Your Red Neck Out For Some Redneck Humor

Jeff Foxworthy is a comic genius. It's as simple as that. My favorite routine was the one about how men and women communicate and that scene with the baseball game on television was just too funny for words. Mr. Foxworthy takes his comic talent to the written page. Although others have used the same technique of providing a very different definition based on how a word sounds, Foxworthy's list is funny as it is done as a spoof on rednecks and as a joke vernacular of humorous redneck dialect.
