"The Devil's Dictionary" is often considered Ambrose Bierce's most
famous work. Portions of it were published in the "San Francisco
Wasp" as a weekly column and in "The Cynic's Word Book" of 1906.
Finally published in its entirety in 1911, the definitions found
therein are as apt today as they were nearly a century ago. An
example: "HOMICIDE, n. The slaying of one human being by another.
There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable,
justifiable, and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to
the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another -- the
classification is for advantage of the lawyers."
