You'll never again be stuck for a mucky phrase

Venerated by some of the outstanding personalities of our time, seminal publication the Viz has released an iPhone app.

Dennis Publishing has completed the Roger Mellie’s Profanisaurus app from Viz where buyers will have access to the full text of Roger’s Profanisaurus.

Viz recently celebrated its 30thAnniversary as one of the UK’s most popular humour comics and brands and the Profanisaurus book has already sold 120,000 copies.

Described as ‘my everything’ by motoring favourite Jeremy Clarkson, Viz is renowned for its surreal, anarchic humour.

Its crude jokes have entertaining for over three decades.

Roger’s Profanisaurus – the world’s sweariest hard-back dictionary, containing over 84,000 rude words and phrases – has been crafted into a bespoke Viz iPhone app available to over 17s, costing £2.99

There are three main options:

1. Profanity at random – entries randomly selected from the Profanisaurus, allowing users to share entries via email or Facebook.

With a shake of the iPod touch or iPhone, the application will also respond by selecting another entry at random

2. An a-z listing of Roger’s Profanisaurus

3. Ability to submit your own entries straight to Viz.

Speaking from his holiday home in the Bavarian Alps, Profanisaurus author Roger Mellie said:

“Since prehistoric times, rudeness has been considered funny. From the stone age man sniggering at a mammoth’s pud crudely scrawled on the wall of his cave to the eighteenth century dandy looking up the word “knickers” in Dr Johnson’s dictionary, the pursuit of obscenity has been a basic human need.”

“Now that primitive urge to laugh at coarse material has finally been brought bang up to date. I am honoured that the complete text of my famous swearing dictionary The Profanisaurus has at last been made available as an app for users of the iPhone.”

“With over 10,000 definitions at their fingertips, iPhone owners who invest in this revolutionary and entertaining application will never again find themselves stuck for an apposite mucky term or phrase, whatever the situation.”

“Unless their battery goes flat, in which case they’re fucked,” he added.
