Great British Guide to Swearing, Insulting and Offending Abroad
by Geoff Tibballs (9780091927493)

You know what it's like. You travel abroad, generously boosting another country's economy, yet all you get by way of thanks is the locals muttering and sniggering at you in their native tongue. And because your knowledge of their language doesn't extend beyond "Doesn't anyone here speak English?" you have no way of replying with a suitable insult of your own. Now help is at hand. So that you have an insult ready for any occasion, this informative guide is divided into sections relating to the different situations you are likely to encounter, including: On the Beach, In the Bar, On the Pull, Asking for Directions, In the Hotel, Your Country Stinks, and Your Mother Is a Whore. Difficult words and phrases are accompanied by helpful pronunciation notes and there is a quiz at the end of each section, enabling you to brush up on your mastery of the insult. After all, who would want to forget that 'Aitisi nai poroja' is Finnish for, 'Your mother copulates with reindeer' It all goes to make this book the most comprehensive guide yet for tourists wishing to insult foreigners in their own precious language.
