Product Description

The experts on all things cool and of-the-moment offer a glossary of the cleverest words you?ve never heard.

Women the world over have been nursing a powerful addiction?to DailyCandy.com. A daily email newsletter covering absolutely everything (from lacy bras that actually fit to restaurant openings to children?s museums), it?s the ultimate insider?s guide to what?s new and undiscovered. It?s like having a great conversation with a girlfriend?a girlfriend who tells you where to get your eyebrows threaded (and anything else that might need it), who knows when the best sample sales are, and who can make you laugh. Really hard. Beloved as much for its witty, edgy writing as it is for its far-reaching information, DailyCandy has also grown into the go-to site for how to talk about it all, every day offering up a round-up of the latest in hip expressions. Always the trendsetter, DailyCandy has defined and invented words and terms that just are becoming popular?or should be. Smart, funny, and sassy, The DailyCandy Lexicon is a compilation of these definitions, invaluable whether you?re a ?girleen? (a young sassy woman) or a ?SoDeeWah? (socialite/ designer/whatever). Accompanying the listing is a behind-the-keyboard narrative of how the DailyCandy staff came up with the entries.

Maybe you?re tired of talking the way you?ve talked for years (please stop calling things ?dope?), or maybe you?re embarrassed that you didn?t know what your cubicle-mate meant by ?desk burn? (it?s an injury sustained during in-office sex). Either way, you need a dose of The DailyCandy Lexicon:

Tart fuel: n. Girlie drinks. e.g., cosmos, kirs, or anything that tastes like Kool-Aid.

Teenile: adj. Used to describe someone who is way too old for what she is wearing. (?That 45-year-old woman is wearing low-cut jeans. Is she crazy or just teenile??)

Kama-suture: n. Aid for injuries sustained during aerobic bedroom exercises (particularly by non-aerobictypes).

Crapas: n. One of the many bad versions of the ?small plates? craze.

Apathy hour: n. What happy hour usually feels like.

4 out of 5 stars Such fun, clever girls.   September 1, 2008
I came across the Daily Candy Lexicon in a (gasp!) brick & mortar bookstore. I'd never heard of DailyCandy.com, which was born in NYC in 2001 and now has editors in a dozen big cities, including London. When I found out I could go to the site and sign up for my daily candy, I went ahead and I've been enjoying their wit and wisdom ever since.

The subtitle "words that don't exist but should" describes the content. Chapters include work, love, food, shopping, nightlife, travel, technology, environment, and holidays. There are true-life anecdotes on every page to show the proper usage of terms. The entries go from mildly funny to bust-out-laughing funny. I'd say the target audience is female with a sense of humor and a spare $15 in her pocket.

These girls are way too smart and cynical for their own good and they're well-connected enough to be getting paid for it. The voice is completely consistent throughout the book, so although there are many Daily Candy editors around the country, only one wrote this book. With input from her colleagues, of course. But the characters on p. 15 really come alive through the vignettes, and I must say Simone is a woman after my own heart. :-D

Love the trendy illustrations and layout design.



5 out of 5 stars Hysterical Book   August 11, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I knew anything that came from Daily Candy was going to be funny, but I just didn't know how funny until I sat and read the book in one sitting. Every word in this book should be a real word. I use "phone zit" all the time now. If you need a good laugh, buy this book.
