I read Esar's comic dictionary back in 1944 when I was 13. I just received one today but it had none of the definitions I remember reading. My folks threw the gook away. These are some examples.
Minute Man A man who double parks in front of a house of ill repute.
Alimony The screwing you get for the screwing you got.
Interlude Ragtime
Kissing Upper persuasion for lower invasion
Dancing Navel engagement without loss of seamen.
Did Ivan Esar ever write such a book? If so, do you have it?
