Ambrose Brierce was a 19th-century American author and journalist. His most popular book is probably the Devil's Dictionary, written between 1881 and 1887. Bierce's dictionary does not contain normal definitions - his definitions are funny and cynical. For example, in a normal dictionary the definition of dentist is 'a kind of doctor who looks after people's teeth'. But in the Devil's Dictionary, the definition of a dentist is 'a person who puts metal in your mouth and takes coins out of your pocket' Today on the Internet you can find many websites with more modern versions of the Devil's Dictionary.
