Chuck Gonzales - 100 Of The Best Curses and Insults In Spanish - A Toolkit for the Testy Tourist

When it comes to foul language, preoccupations with sex and genitalia cross cultural boundaries, as do garden-variety attacks on size and intelligence. Yet Spanish has quite a colorful array of ways to get even and come out on top. Sure, you should practice saying buenos diás, lo siento , and ¿cómo están ?, but sometimes it’s not a good day and you’re not sorry. After all, a brutish woman could have cut you off on the sangria line after you waited an eternity for a taste of the fruity delight or a jackass with a mullet might be ruining every shot you take in Barcelona.

In this book, you’ll find forty-five aggravating scenarios that you might—even in the land of siestas and fiestas —find yourself in, along with advice on how to get out of them, what to say, and why it’s okay to say it.

Hopefully your trip will be as care- and incident-free as a walk in el parque . But if you find yourself hot under the collar in the land of the sun, you know where to turn. Whether you sling these, fling them, or pronounce them with delicacy and finesse, make sure you always get in the last word … or at least the most offensive.
