Dirty German: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off!"

Dirty Languages series

Dirty German provides enough insults and swear words to offend every person in Germany — without even mentioning that the Japanese make better cars — as well as explicit sex terminology graphic enough to embarrass the women of Hamburg's infamous red light district. Also included is a section on native banter that can help readers make friends over a pitcher of beer and convince the local bratwurst vendor that they actually like sauerkraut.
