Years ago, a beloved coworker and mentor (thanks Bill) gifted The Railer a copy of The Devil’s Dictionary, published in 1911 by American journalist Ambrose Bierce. It’s a collection of Bierce’s satirical and irreverent takes on common words and phrases. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a worthy addition to your library. Here are a […]
