Brocabulary The New Man-i-festo of Dude Talk

Calling for men everywhere to adopt a brand-new lexicon of manhood…

Daniel Maurer rescues the imperiled state of modern guy talk by providing a new lexicon for all men: savages and coffeehouse intellectuals alike. These aren’t the cutesie words that have recently been coined for us in loathsome trend pieces like “man date” or “metrosexual.” No, these are the “cock blocks” of the next generation—words you’ll actually want to use the next time you’re talking out of your ass while S-faced (see
barticulating).

More than merely a glossary, when closely studied BROCABULARY will lead to greater personal freedom for mankind, as The Alphabet of Manliness did before it, and will provide women who like to throw a few down with the guys with a firm grasp of bromenclature as well. Beyond simply defining the stripping point (the precise number of Jaeger shots that make a woman want to get naked with you), or hulking out (flipping into a hulk-like party rage after one too many), it will give you clear-cut examples and paths to success/restraint for each new definition with graphs, illustrations and sidebars.

You may not be able to use many of these words in polite conversation, but that’s not really the point. The point is that you’ll know more about yourself as a man. You’ll learn how to calculate your cock stock (the value of your penis to chicks) and you’ll start seeing your life as one full of pussibilities (no explanation needed). So, stop just reminiscing about the nights of yore with the boys. Shake yourself out of brostalgia, flip through your brolodex, and call up your brotourage—it’s time to start anew, buck the trends, and leave your mark on guy-speak for the generations to come...with a little help from BROCABULARY.
