An essential phrasebook for the world traveler, How to Swear Around the World features dozens of favorite curses, insults, and sayings from all over the globe.

Make new friends and enemies abroad with this handy guide filled with fighting words, scatological expressions, dozens of ways to insult someone’s mother, and many other suitably offensive phrases.

Also features phonetic pronunciations and handy illustrations to provide guidance to these colorful exclamations.

“As useful as it is hilarious, Sacher’s How to Swear Around the World teaches readers all kinds of vulgar phrases in dozens of different languages. Feel free to call Expedia and curse out their airfare prices using any of the book’s quotes.” —Complex.com

Using the search function, you will find this book has no references to England or Wales.
And only one reference to American English, and only one for Scotland.
A small and very limited book in scope, not worth the money even when on sale.
