ARSENIC

Below the term “ARSENIC” from the Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce.

I placed this term (and I am still working on placing each and every of the close to 1000 terms of the Devils Dictionary) on a separate page that you can easily share in your social networks.

But this is only on part of the story: Feel free to comment on the terms, to shed lights about persons mentioned, to write your own definition – now that more 100 years have gone by since the publishing of the Devil’s Dictionary. If you have images that could contribute to this common adventure – please get in contact with me via email – dictionarynet123@gmail.com.

ARSENIC, n. A kind of cosmetic greatly affected by the ladies, whom
it greatly affects in turn.

"Eat arsenic? Yes, all you get,"
Consenting, he did speak up;
"’Tis better you should eat it, pet,
Than put it in my teacup."
