Description
Roger’s Profanisaurus has long been one of the most popular sections in Viz Comic. And now, as the magazine celebrates its 45th year disgracing the shelves of shops in Britain and around the world, we’re pushing out our beefiest ever volume of foulage - Roger’s Profanisaurus: Turtleshead Revisited.
Each issue of Britain’s funniest* magazine sees readers suggesting more hilarious definitions to add to our potty-mouthed dictionary of rude words, filthy phrases and appalling euphemisms. And now we’ve brought the whole thing together in this tastefully designed 700-page cistern-smasher of a book - Roger’s Profanisaurus: Turtleshead Revisited. (*publisher’s estimate)
Containing more words than the whole of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (no, really), Roger’s Profanisaurus : Turtleshead Revisited is a filthy romp through the filthiest (and funniest) sewers of the English language, with each eye-popping definition exhaustively cross-referenced for greater clarity. If you don’t reach for your copy next time you’re applying for a job, writing a wedding speech, or roughing out a police statement, you really will be missing a trick.

Author's Bio
Viz Comic is an adult British comic that, since its inception in 1979, has carved out a unique niche in the landscape of British humour. Key to its continued success is its mixture of memorable comic characters, spoof news articles, fake adverts and regular features such as Letterbocks, Top Tips and Viz’s own dictionary of slang, Roger’s Profanisaurus.
Characters like The Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist and foul-mouthed Roger Mellie (“the Man on the Telly”) have become cultural icons in their own right, and Viz’s unique comic voice has left an indelible mark on British popular culture, with its influence felt across all media. Despite the comic’s self-effacing slogan that ‘it’s not as funny as it used to be’, Viz continues to remain a beloved national institution, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the Porton Down Chemical Weapons Research Facility, and the Royal family.
