He meant, she meant

by Jenny Lyn Bader

Babe: to women, an insulting nickname; to men, a compliment that is rarely taken as one. This is just one example of the numerous entries in this smart, funny dictionary that points out and pokes fun at the differences between men and women, and the way the same word can mean drastically different things depending on to whom one talks. This book delves into the meaning of hundreds of words in American culture today, lasering in on what "he" really means and what "she" really means.
