Ambrose Bierce wrote this entire dictionary with his own definitions of the words. It's interesting and funny at the same time. Kind of ridiculous as well. Bierce was a great American writer but saw the human race in a negative light. Bierce fought in the civil war, so he saw carnage and destruction of life and everything that relates to it firsthand. The story goes that in Bierce's later years he rode off into the sunset and with a gang that was out of Mexico, and his cause of death still remains unknown. He couldn't take humanities' innate destruction and war against itself. But it doesn't really make sense why he went to Mexico with a gang, hopefully it was to get to a beach somewhere to forget about the universe and its crude ways.
