Publisher's summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

You may know Jimmy Failla as the best dressed man in cable news. A force multiplier of positive energy on the radio who sounds like he gets paid in Tequila and Tide Pods. But he’s also a former New York City Taxi Driver who’s spent countless hours conversing with people from all over this planet and several planets you’ve never heard of. It’s those chats with hobbits, hookers, and time travelers that fill The Cancel Culture Dictionary with the unique perspective and savage self-awareness we need to escape the outrage era society is stuck in.

Let’s face it. Life in this country was WAY better before the Smart Phone came along and made us infinitely dumber. Social Media has turned our “shining city on a hill” into a Real Housewives episode on Bravo where every day is a constant cat fight about politics. Weaponized censorship and runaway speech policing has left many people unable to tell the difference between a comedian and a criminal. Although to be fair, sometimes they’re the same, in Bill Cosby’s case.

But if there’s one thing we can all be sure of, it’s that spending the past 10 years with our faces glued to our phones has made us crankier, crazier, and much fatter, despite what the Instagram Filters show you.

This book is a collection of naughty jokes and nutty people whose stories guide us to a world where we don’t spend all day slugging it out on Twitter, X, or whatever dumb name Elon Musk gives it next time he gets stoned. No, it's not an actual dictionary, although the author should probably spend more time reading one. Think of it as a ridiculous roadmap to a time where life didn’t revolve around the Republican Party and the Democratic Party because we were all too focused on The Keg Party. And unlike other works devoted to the cancel craze, we'll show how the people who lost the most with each celebrity firing were everyday Americans who had nothing to do with it.

Cancel Culture and the outrage era have dragged us all into a war on fun. But this book is not a call to arms, girlfriend. If anything, it’s a call to chill the f--k out.

So hop in, shut the door, and don’t waste time fiddling with the seatbelt. The way we’re about to drive, it can’t help you anyway.

Fun Listen

It was a fun listen. I like the fact the actual author read his book. And had his humor through out the book.

Fun and interesting.

Love Jimmy’s humor and his incite. I can taste his jacket by listening. Highly recommend to all the keyboard warriors. Your heads will explode.

Refreshing!

Finally someone who points out the tragedies of our current society and the nonsense .. I sure hope this common sense and lack of BS tolerance catches on! TM

Book 1 of the Jimmy Failla Collection

Bravo Jimmy! Absolutely brilliant! You are truly a National Treasure. I'll patiently be awaiting the sequel. Thank you for always speaking the truth and making America laugh. From one Raider girl to another...the Autumn Wind will always be a Raider.

Cab driver wisdom and then some

I've enjoyed listening and watching Jimmy since he started popping up and off on Fox News a couple of years ago. If you watch Fox News and saw Jimmy's special on Fox Nation, you will have heard some of this material before. But it's still funny the second time around. And Jimmy uses humor as good as anyone to score political points and to demonstrate the insanity of initiatives such as DEI and the left's obsession with gender issues. This book is essentially a comedy special masquerading as a a literary offering. And I'm OK with that and would have been disappointed if it were otherwise. And if you're like me, you'll find yourself saying, "Jimmy ... Jimmy," every so often. A fun listen well worth the credit. And if Jimmy talked slower the book would have lasted more than eight hours, so no complaining about the length. Even if you are one of Jimmy's ex-girlfriends. Jimmy ... Jimmy.

Good content research

Well done, hard hitting, and hilarious. This man is a treasure that I’m glad was put in front of a microphone. I wouldn’t even think of buying this book in print when I could hear him in all his comedic glory. “ comedy is a buffet.” he said it well, and I believe he lives it. I hope this book encourages us to stop being offended and start finding the humor in everything. 

Jimmy’s humor and performance ‼️❣️💥

Keep writing, talking and performing in your “ice skating uniforms”. Great family to back you.

Lots of Laughs. Had to have a "Live" version!

This is a truly hilarious audiobook. Perfect for my long hikes and for reminding me why I have been fleeing these WOKE <<keyboard cop>> nut jobs by taking...Well....Long Hikes! I'm looking forward to buying your next audio, Jimmy. (I DON'T Kid!) Cheers!

Insightful, funny, nails it!

Laughed throughout the entire book. I watch him every chance I get. Jimmy nails it!

Absolute lack of wokeness or white guilt. Thank God!!!

This was the first book (of approximately my last 200) during which, I wasn't white-knuckling it, just waiting to be forcibly (metaphorically) violated by wokeness. I laughed aloud, during every chapter. It was refreshing and glorious. I was, temporarily taken out of my own dark thoughts, and allowed to just breathe and enjoy humor, unapologetically and joyfully. A true home run. Thank you, Jimmy Failla!
