5.0 out of 5 stars
the best of the lot,
By Richard M. Baker (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Dictionary of Obscenities: A Guide to Dirty Words and Indecent Expressions in Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian (Paperback)
One thing I learned is this: don't practice these Spanish tasties with strangers in Mexico. I found out two things: they weren't amused and the dictionary was accurate. Some of the religious references were so rough I thought I'd be struck by lightning just for practicing them to myself. It is titled a dictionary of obsenities and that it is.

swear in six languages!,
By Al Kihano (Iskandria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: International Dictionary of Obscenities: A Guide to Dirty Words and Indecent Expressions in Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian (Paperback)
A small dictionary, but there are those who love it. The IDO explains -- in English that is, to say the least, not shy -- all the filthiest language from Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian. It is sort of unsettling to see all these curses and dirty words in a sterile dictionary column. Once you get past that initial weirdness, though, the dictionary will be a shameless joy to thumb through. It is true that insults and foul words are the funniest parts of a language, so if for nothing else you should look into this book as a humor piece.

Useable and fun.,
By A Customer
This review is from: International Dictionary of Obscenities: A Guide to Dirty Words and Indecent Expressions in Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian (Paperback)
The book is very crude and to the point, but that is what obscenities are in any language. If you really want to know what the tourists are saying or you plan on spending any amount of time where any of the subject languages are spoken, this book is a "must have."
