4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, accurate, and nasty, July 30, 1998
This book is full of deliciously vulgar phrases. I wouldn't recommend actually using them unless you want a black eye, but as far as I can tell, having spent a summer in Poland, they're mostly accurate and up to date. The author also provides many literal translations, which are usually the funniest phrases in the book.

I was surprised to find that the book has almost no religious profanity. This seems strange, given that Poland is about 95% Catholic, and the author doesn't indicate if it's an omission or if there simply aren't any such curses. I also would have liked a scale of some sort to indicate which phrases were obscene and which were merely naughty. Still, it's a fun book, and if you've ever been ripped off by a Warsaw cab driver it's a useful one too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical at first., October 10, 2005
By Edward Wieszczynski (Plum Borough, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I gave the book to my dad and he did not know what to think. It started out slow but by the middle of the book he was laughing out loud.

4.0 out of 5 stars yes, sounds familiar.....
This is a good slang-type of dictionary. The phrases or words are colorful because ordinary terms are used in a vulgar meaning. Read more
