Man kann sogar sein Wortschatz erweitern :)

### 5/5 — Rude and random without swearing

*2015-06-30*

I have used this to create some very funny and offensive insults to share with “friends" without the use of swear words. Just shows how great the English language is when used cleverly.

### 5/5 — Dandy Pleasurer

*2015-06-05*

If you appreciate subtle British humor, you will find this app incredibly funny.  It is very well thought-out and there are many little features that make it superb.

I’ve only scratched the surface, but anticipate many more guffaws in the future with this app.

Warning though, pace yourself!  Or your cheeks will hurt from grinning so much at all the clever touches.

### 5/5 — Hilariously random

*2015-05-22*

Like having Bill Bailey in your pocket... in a good way.
