See all formats and editions

Learn enough crude swear words, funny insults, and slang sex terms to offend everyone from prudish British ladies to Irish drinking buddies If you're visiting an English-speaking country you have it made--no need to learn a foreign language, right?

But once you arrive on the streets, it's clear the language being spoken is far different from the one back home.

Luckily, Dirty English translates the most obscure native banter while teaching you how to sling slang like the coolest of locals.

When a Brit recommends pulling rubbers over a pair of shoes, he's not telling you to keep your feet dry with condoms.

When Australians mention loving Oz, they're not interested in flying somewhere over the rainbow.

Revealing the true meanings of these and other everyday slang terms, Dirty English is an entertaining read with its humorous definitions and amusing examples.

You'll soon have no problem chatting up natives of England, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, and you'll be able to understand the locals in distinctive regional areas like wicked New England, the purdy South, and the hella chill West Coast.
