This book is unique. I spent hours laughing at the literal translation to English. I'm a Spanish speaker living in the US and from now on I'll start using some of those translations in English, just to throw people off. The book is not to be taken as a dictionary or some serious reference source. It's light-hearted and contains a chuckle in every page. At least. Congratulations to the authors.
Disregard the last person's comment on this book. Anyone who has studied in a Spanish country knows that swear words are a staple of every conversation. Even college professors and grandmas swear here. If you would like to understand what is being said around you... this book is an excellent tool!
Book is about insulting comments and nasty remarks to other people. Unless you want to be the Don Rickles of Espanol, preserve su dinero. SIMILAR ITEMS:
