Resumen del Editor

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

You may know Jimmy Failla as the best dressed man in cable news. A force multiplier of positive energy on the radio who sounds like he gets paid in Tequila and Tide Pods. But he’s also a former New York City Taxi Driver who’s spent countless hours conversing with people from all over this planet and several planets you’ve never heard of. It’s those chats with hobbits, hookers, and time travelers that fill The Cancel Culture Dictionary with the unique perspective and savage self-awareness we need to escape the outrage era society is stuck in.

Let’s face it. Life in this country was WAY better before the Smart Phone came along and made us infinitely dumber. Social Media has turned our “shining city on a hill” into a Real Housewives episode on Bravo where every day is a constant cat fight about politics. Weaponized censorship and runaway speech policing has left many people unable to tell the difference between a comedian and a criminal. Although to be fair, sometimes they’re the same, in Bill Cosby’s case.

But if there’s one thing we can all be sure of, it’s that spending the past 10 years with our faces glued to our phones has made us crankier, crazier, and much fatter, despite what the Instagram Filters show you.

This book is a collection of naughty jokes and nutty people whose stories guide us to a world where we don’t spend all day slugging it out on Twitter, X, or whatever dumb name Elon Musk gives it next time he gets stoned. No, it's not an actual dictionary, although the author should probably spend more time reading one. Think of it as a ridiculous roadmap to a time where life didn’t revolve around the Republican Party and the Democratic Party because we were all too focused on The Keg Party. And unlike other works devoted to the cancel craze, we'll show how the people who lost the most with each celebrity firing were everyday Americans who had nothing to do with it.

Cancel Culture and the outrage era have dragged us all into a war on fun. But this book is not a call to arms, girlfriend. If anything, it’s a call to chill the f--k out.

So hop in, shut the door, and don’t waste time fiddling with the seatbelt. The way we’re about to drive, it can’t help you anyway.

Fun and over too quickly!!

Put together with many great facts delivered with the humor the world needs more these days!

the message

loved the writing and pacing. Great content. organized very well. tyring to fill out the 15 word minimum. Great radio show also.

Book is hella dope

I really enjoyed this . The crass humor, the viewpoint. It feels like it was written for Gen X. Definately get this book. Its worth the price and the author reads his own book well.

Fun and interesting.

Love Jimmy’s humor and his incite. I can taste his jacket by listening. Highly recommend to all the keyboard warriors. Your heads will explode.

Refreshing!

Finally someone who points out the tragedies of our current society and the nonsense .. I sure hope this common sense and lack of BS tolerance catches on! TM

His message

Was spot on in every chapter. The national sense of humor has been beaten into submission and we have to stand up and revive it.

Jimmy is hilarious!

Loved every side splitting one liner! Self deprecating to the core Jimmy delivers top self amazement and wit!

Insightful, funny, nails it!

Laughed throughout the entire book. I watch him every chance I get. Jimmy nails it!

Absolute lack of wokeness or white guilt. Thank God!!!

This was the first book (of approximately my last 200) during which, I wasn't white-knuckling it, just waiting to be forcibly (metaphorically) violated by wokeness. I laughed aloud, during every chapter. It was refreshing and glorious. I was, temporarily taken out of my own dark thoughts, and allowed to just breathe and enjoy humor, unapologetically and joyfully. A true home run. Thank you, Jimmy Failla!

The candor.

I love the witty story telling style and pithy delivery.Fails has a way with words.
