Here's why I like it - there are phrases in a few languages that I couldn't get a straight answer about how say. This book covered many of them. It was a gift. Getting this book was like getting support for something I would definitely do had I the intelligence to do it. Now I do.

Here's what I do not like - there are phrases that I want to be able to say in specific languages that this book doesn't cover. Also, a pronounciation guide would be nice.

Great Christmas stocking stuffers or party gift

Great Christmas stocking stuffers or party gift. Doesn't just translate the typical English swear words to other languages as you might expect. Instead, it tells you the major/worst insults of other languages and cultures, and explains what they mean. Of course, it will also show you how to pronounce and spell them.

Well this is unusual and a bit odd...but fun. That's why its unique. It beats the same old best seller of the month books :)

For the f*%king curious...

Good compilation and discussion of curse words and swear phrases from around the world. Focuses on the literal translation of foreign phrases, which typically makes them seem even more ridiculous then they already are. Makes for great bathroom reading material too... for instance, you can tell your friends what you just did in several languages!

a fun book

this is an enjoyable book that gives lots of information that won't be found in most language books. one can learn something new about the various countries by studying what are considered "swear words" in that country's culture.

Funny and Filthy

I bought this as a fathers day present for my constantly traveling dad. As long as the recipient has a good sense on humor, they will get a good laugh out of the book. Its a bit small, but definitely colorful.

The only disappointment here is that there is no pronunciation guide.

Damn $%#@&$% book. Very useful when traveling. I have even learned how to swear at my boss in a foreign language and, if I smile while talking, he thinks I am complimenting him.
