language lore - alchemy of swearing

www.theworld.org/?q=node/16325 [February 28, 2008]

Anchor Lisa Mullins speaks with author Stephen Dodson. He's been studying languages -- and how to curse in them -- much of his life. Now he's co-authored a book called "Uglier Than a Monkey's Armpit: The Best Put-downs and Invective from Around the World."

--- see also, Dodson's blog, http://www.languagehat.com/ which includes an extensive list of links to other rich language-related resources. Look for the US edition of this book in summer 2009.
