The thrust of Fatsis’s memoir—broken up with history lessons and charming, if slightly disjointed, profiles and dispatches from dictionary-related events—is a recounting of his time embedded in the Merriam-Webster offices during a stretch of great linguistic and economic change. During his apprenticeship as a professional lexicographer, which spanned the late Obama and early Trump years, Fatsis harbored many pet projects and words that he wanted to add or update, which included gender pronouns, sports terms, trending political words, and adolescent humor. Fatsis demonstrates how words get added to the dictionary through his own confident but oft-foiled efforts to get his definitions in. Sometimes, his climactic encounters with language reflect words in “the current cultural stew”—for example, the then-emerging terms safe space and microaggression. (His pride at getting these words into the dictionary curdles into contrition when, a few years later, after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, he muses that “a microaggression is whatever its recipient says it is.”) But just as often, his submissions merely reflect his own interests: He spends time on the slang terms Dutch oven (as when someone farts under the sheets) and fluffer (the person who keeps porn actors hard on set). He fixates on getting sportocrat into the dictionary, grasping for usage examples; he lavishes attention on slurs, taboos, and the obscene.
