This book features dozens of favorite curses, insults, and sayings from all over the globe. Get rid of a pesky hanger-on in Brazil by telling him to dig for potatoes - "vai ceifar batatas". To express disgust toward your brown-nosing German friend, accuse him of being a bicycle-rider - "Radfahrer", or tell someone off in Laos by letting him know you think his mother enjoys keeping intimate company with dogs - "Ma see mea mung!" Make new friends and enemies abroad with this handy guide filled with fighting words, scatological expressions, dozens of ways to insult someone´s mother, and many other suitably offensive phrases.
This essential phrasebook collects the most colourful, explicit and outrageous ways to tell people off in different languages from all around the world. Featuring dozens of different languages, the sayings range from everyday swears to family curses to x-rated encounters with animals. Some of the most useful expressions include wishing an enemy a painful death, insulting a person´s grandmother and accusing someone´s mother of having intimate relations with bears in the forest.
