Merriam-Webster, 1934 - The superlative Yuletide remittance for the plenary extraction!

Popular Science of  December 1934 knows you haven't started your Exmess shopping yet, and they want you to get on that shit post haste, baby! Dictionaries for everyone! Wooooo!


If you'd have asked a dictionary company what makes a great Exmess present, turns out they say "Dictionary, idiot!", which is strange, because it could have gone either way, you know? Maybe they'd say ""A nice croquet set!", but nope... dictionary.

To show you how great life could be with a dictionary under everyone's nose, they include little serving suggestions of the whole family holding books (presumably, dictionaries) really close to their faces, to make sure they can be seen within their little bubble. That was downright felicitous of them!

Everyone in your family should have an abridged dictionary - Miss Crabtree, Clark Gable, Teenage Jane Krakowski (Mee-yow!), Boy, and Mickey Rooney!




Limp Pigskin. Man, that band was annoying. I was so glad when I heard they broke up.

If, for some reason, you think you can't go another Yuletide without clip arts of these faces, we've got you covered, for some reason. Right click these easily amused family members onto your hard drive, if that's what you're into.

You know the drill: click each to big each. You're welcome, I guess!!!

Yeah, Limp Pigskin sucked, but Fabrikoid was metal AF.

Best damn gift ever. The giver carefully highlighted the backside of the dust jacket, which was the best directions ever to get the most from a Dictionary. Much love to Undine Dunn!
