コメント	The English language is full of words that sound obscene but aren't. Terms like "arsole" (an organic chemical compound) and "crack spread" (a calculation showing theoretical market values of petroleum). Words like "cunctator" (a person who procrastinates, delays, or wastes time) and "spotted dick" (a traditional English dessert made with hot, thick custard). Seventh-grade language arts teacher Eric Groves Sr. has spent years listening to his students giggle after he used words like "thespian, coccyx," and "masticate." Now he has compiled hundreds of these foul-sounding terms into a delightfully innocent dictionary, complete with illustrated definitions of their true meanings. From "air cock" (a valve on a boiler) and "bushmaster" (a large venomous snake) to "cummingtonite" (a mineral) and beyond, "Butt Rot and Bottom Gas" is a wonderful reference for word lovers and the snickering seventh grader in all of us.
