History, n. an account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools. Marriage, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves, making in all two. Self-Esteem, n. An erroneous appraisement.
These caustic aphorisms, collected in The Devil's Dictionary, helped earn Ambrose Bierce the epithets Bitter Bierce, the Devil's Lexicographer, and the Wickedest Man in San Francisco. First published as The Cynic's Word Book (1906) and later reissued under its preferred name in 1911, Bierce's notorious collection of barbed definitions forcibly contradicts Samuel Johnson's earlier definition of a lexicographer as a harmless drudge. There was nothing harmless about Ambrose Bierce, and the words he shaped into verbal pitchforks a century ago--with or without the devil's help--can still draw blood today.

Spooniest spoons that ever spooned
Size: Large Pack
I don't know how excited anyone can get about spoons, but hey, they spooned. Decent thickness because they didn't snap when I took a scoop of soup or chili or whatever I had. They look like spoons. They're the size of spoons although I wish all disposable spoons had more surface area in the scoopy part of the spoonage. Really good price for what you're getting and I'm being prompted to comment on ease of use. If you need to know anything about how easy or difficult using a spoon is, you probably shouldn't be using one, supervised or otherwise. Spoon on!

Durable and versatile disposable spoons
Size: Large Pack
These plastic spoons are sturdier than most disposables I've tried, holding up well to both hot soup and frozen desserts without bending. The pack of 100 means I always have plenty on hand for home meals, lunches and picnics, and the clear design looks nicer than flimsy white utensils. I appreciate that they are safe to use and made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic. While the handles are hollow, they've been strong enough for cereal, yogurt and everyday use. They provide great value for the price and save me from washing dishes.
