Greetings Chafing Nipplers,
It gives me great pleasure to announce that “Curse & Berate It in 69+ Languages”, a book that I have worked on for quite a long time with RV Branham, has just been published.
Did you know that curses in Swahili are commonly intensified with the addition of a suffix meaning “in triplicate”? Have you ever wondered what you would say if you were surrounded by a hoard of rowdy transsexual Afrikaners? What about proper heroin use etiquette in Hungarian? Fancy chatting with shoe fetishists in Mexico? If you were at a Scottish Gaelic punk show in Stornoway, would you know what to say? What if you had to deal with a shtty Croatian wedding band? Have you ever wanted to use a 17th century Icelandic rune to put a death curse on someone or get the girl of your dreams? Helpful information on all of these topics and many, many others can be found in “Curse & Berate It in 69+ Languages” a dictionary and phrasebook of insults, sarcasms, snits, cris de coeur, merde du jour, bigotries, Dutch courage, thought crimes, anti-benedictions, German sense of humor, Tijuana bibles, and other sit-next-to-mezes in Croatian, Danish, Zapotec, Cantonese, Spanish, Turkish, Scottish Gaelic, Japanese, Ukrainian, French (incl. Québecois), Mandarin,Tamil, Greek, Portuguese, Quechua, Catalan, Maltese, and many other languages.
The book is 202 pages in length, published by New York-based Soft Skull Press, and is available at fine bookshops across the US and Canada or online from Amazon.com** for the ludicrously low price of $13.95. A British edition, tentatively titled “Gobsh*te Wisdom”, will be available in the UK and Ireland later in the year.
Be fruitful & multiply.
Regards,
Channing Dodson
Assistant Editor
