Your Mother's Tongue: A Book of European Invective
Description:
In this tour of anger, exasperation, prejudice, irony and loathing as expressed in some twenty European tongues, we learn that what is invective in one country is sweet talk in another; that a German's arsehole is an Italian's son of a bitch; and why you should never, ever call a Finn a Swede, a Portuguese woman a nanny-goat or a Spanish one a vixen. A single currency? Maybe. A common language? Not on your life.
