You know those phrases that sound polite, but you know there’s a whole load of sass hidden underneath? Yep, this book’s got them all. From “With all due respect…” (translation: none given) to “It’s not you, it’s me” (translation: it’s definitely you), this funny little hardback is the indispensable guide to what people really mean when they’re being “nice.”

Packed with over 100 hilariously illustrated phrases and their brutally honest translations, this book is a must-read for anyone who has ever smiled sweetly through gritted teeth while someone said something utterly infuriating. Basically, if you’ve got friends, family, colleagues, or any human interaction at all—you need this.
