Ambrose Bierce, journalist and former soldier for the Union army in the Civil War, began writing satirical definitions for the San Francisco Wasp in 1881, and later for the San Francisco Examiner, launching a journalistic career that would see him liked and loathed in equal measure and earn him the title of "the wickedest man in San Francisco."A contemporary of Mark Twain, Bierce brought his biting humor to bear on spoof definitions of everyday words, writing deliberate mistranslations of the vocabulary of the establishment, the church, and the politics of his day, and shining a sardonic light on hypocrisy and deception. More than one hundred These columns formed the beginnings of a dictionary, first published in 1906 as The Cynic's Word Book, which stopped at the letter L, and five years later as a full A-Z text known as The Devil's Dictionary.
