«Schmutzige Redensarten» is Leo Moser's guide to insults, published by Eichborn in paperback (78 pages, in six languages).
The book brings together insults, swear words and profane expressions in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish, organised as a kind of international canon of insult. With a humorous yet linguistic approach, it presents equivalences between languages and brings the reader closer to the most colloquial and crude vocabulary of each.
Published in 1992; the work's subtitle is «Die internationale Schimpfkanonade».
Intended for language students, travellers and those curious about informal linguistics who want to discover the humour of insults in six languages.
