Why people recommend it
Insulting English by Peter Novobatzky and Ammon Shea is a linguistic compendium that catalogues colorful, sharp, and obscure insults derived from the history of the English language. On the December 14, 2025 episode of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know titled We Finally Did It: The Niburu Episode, Ben Bowlin mentioned the volume while searching for entertaining content to share during the broadcast. Grouping the title casually alongside another favorite publication of theirs, Bowlin told his co-hosts that they had some homework and began flipping through the pages. He asked his colleagues to tell him when to stop so that he could read a random entry aloud to the listeners. The spontaneous reference demonstrated how the podcast hosts integrated their appreciation for quirky reference books into the show, utilizing the linguistic collection as a source of amusement and unexpected trivia for their audience near the conclusion of the episode.
