Next time you’re traveling or just chattin’ in Italian with your friends, drop the textbook formality and bust out with expressions they never teach you in school, including:

•Cool slang
•Funny insults
•Explicit sex terms
•Raw swear words

Dirty Italian teaches the casual expressions heard every day on the streets of Italy:

What's up?
Come va?

He's a real hottie.
Lui è proprio un figo.

This pizza's awesome!
Questa pizza è buonissima!

I'm totally wasted.
Soo sbronzo.

I gotta piss.
Devo pisciare.

Hey ref, you're an asshole!
Arbitro cornuto!

Wanna do it doggy-style?
Lo facciamo alla pecorina?

5.0 out of 5 stars Buffo! November 15, 2007
By Amy Cote
Format:Paperback
Ms. Euvino has obviously done copious research on the subject of modern Italian slang. This is a tiny book packed with information. It is funny and entertaining with many historical references and amusing illustrations: a must have for anyone seriously interested in learning Italian!

5.0 out of 5 stars DIRTY ITALIAN by Gabrielle Euvino November 30, 2007
By J. Wise
Format:Paperback
Having tried to learn Italian for years using one sanitized text or another, I found this book with some sizzle. It's fun to get out of the language lab and understand what they actually said on the 'Godfather'. Now I have the chance to understand the insult coming my way the next time in Italy and, maybe, have a reply. The book is a lot of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will really keep you interested! February 9, 2008
By Norman Stgeorges
Format:Paperback
It's an excellent book to learn all the slangs and bad words in Italian. It's easy reading and enjoyable. Not too difficult to remember the words. The author has done a great job trying to capture the student's interest and enthusiasm. Even the native Italians can benefit from it, because some of the words and expressions are quite new to them, particularly to the old generation. For some reason we tend to remember the slangs and cuss words better than ordinary and literally work. I cannot wait to jump to the next chapter and pick my curiosiy at the next topic. I highly recommend it...
