Product Description

Book Description
A brilliantly entertaining history of bad language

Synopsis
This work provides an exploration of insults and swearwords in the European Union. It shows that what is invective in one country is sweet talk in another, explaining why you should never call a Finn a Swede, a Portugese woman a nanny-goat or a Spanish one a vixen.
