You know the publisher means serious business when the first thing you see when you open the book is a disclaimer waving them of all liability for use of the book. That can only mean one thing: this is one book full of insults.

Including swear words, short swear phrases and long swear phrases, you'll find the curse you're after no matter where you are. Also, thanks to the inclusion of Random swear words from around the world, you'll be able to pretty much insult the speaker of any language. That's the dream right there.

Perhaps you're just in it to impress your friends you see at that time share each year or make the locals laugh, in which case this book is a great travel companion. However, warnings should be in place for those who intend to swear at cab drivers and hotel staff for misheard directions or orders. It may not end well, but whatever the reason, happy swearing!
