ESSENTIAL FOREIGN SWEARWORDS

Introduction

When you go on holiday abroad, it’s

important to be able to communicate

with the natives. It’s useful to know, for

example, whether the policeman who is

trying to bundle you into the back of a

van with his truncheon up your arse is

calling you a bastard or a cunt . With

this book, you will not only be able to

understand him, but you’ll also be able

to retort in a suitably charming manner.

Many wars have started due to

language barriers. Do your bit for

international accord and learn to speak

in their tongue. Just make sure you

wash your mouth out afterwards.
