{May 21, 2008}   the Insult Dictionary

Firstly, I just had a job interview. I’m really hoping I get it, because it seems like such an awesome place to work.

Okay, now that’s out of the way, I can tell you about a discovery of mine. Sometime last year, for $2, I bought a book called the Insult Dictionary:How to be Abusive in FIVE languages. These languages are English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Now, right about now, you must be wondering what the catch is. Well, it was published in 1966. I’m about to list a few. However, I would like to warn you before hand that it is NOT in ANY way politically correct.

So, here are a few beauties (in English. However, I’m copying it straight from the book, word for word):
(on the beach) Move your fat carcass so I can get some sun.

(in the butcher’s shop) That rabbit is still miaowing.

(at a party or a dance) Keep your wandering paws to yourself.

(in the bookshop) Do you only sell pornography?

(Between the Sexes) Your lips are like wet liver.

(General terms and all-purpose insults) Incapable lout.

(General terms and all-purpose insults) Repulsive, evil-smelling layabout.

Those are just a few of the terms. If you want to know more, or want the book’s translation, just leave a comment.



Not quite there yet, are we? says:

Good luck on the job interview.

And I approve of the book.

And no, ’tis not the Hitchhiker that be posting here.

Nor is it Davey Jones, despite the Piratey-inflexion of that penultimate line. :P
