“Amaze your therapist, startle your enemies, and terrify your loved ones with bombastic morphemes and linguistic pyrotechnics from The Delving Dictionary! Somewhere between management consulting and moonlighting as a night watchman, Ron Spillers found time to compile this diabolical collection of logos and idioms, in order to inflict his own brand of enlightenment and obfuscation upon the world. If you understand that the Big Bang theory is not a reference to a Dionysian kegger after the blue and white game, and appreciate the scientific, spiritual, and humanitarian significance of particle accelerators and nonbaryonic dark matter. . . or you just know you’re intellectually superior. . . The Delving Dictionary is for you! ”

"I wish all logophiles were as devoted and as attentive to the objects of their affection as Ron Spillers is!"
