«The Official Politically Correct Dictionary» is the satirical guide by Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf, published by HarperCollins in paperback (144 pages).
It collects and parodies the euphemisms of politically correct language from the 1990s through humorous definitions and usage examples that take the device to absurdity. The work criticises how words can hide uncomfortable realities or soften discrimination, and offers a satirical reflection on the power of language.
The cover reproduces the full title The Official Politically Correct Dictionary & Handbook. The work is in English and was originally published in 1992.
For readers interested in satirical humour and criticism of language, as well as cultural phenomena of the 1990s.
