"One of those rare smart and funny books."- Penn Jillette
Kurzbeschreibung
For author Sterling Johnson, swearing is essential to effective communication. With this in mind, he developed a guidebook that teaches readers how to cure effectively in detail, with numerous examples taken from everyday life. Like its predecessor, English As A Second F*cking Language, the guide teaches non-native speakers the basics of swearing effectively in English while offering native speakers a wide variety of new twists and refinements on classic obscenity. Examples range from the gross to the witty, but they're always practical and they always evoke a laugh. Definitely not for the squeamish among us, this book is an informative look at taboo words and expressions.

Pulls it off (so to speak)
19. November 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This book had the potential to be merely tasteless, but I am happy to report that it is tasteless AND hilarious. The examples for each usage really make the book:
Under "cornhusking":
Clem: What's taking you so long in there, boy?
Chad: I'm husking corn, Dad.
Clem: You keep doing that, you'll go blind.
Chad: I know. I'm going to quit soon as I need glasses.
That's one of the few I can quote. This slim tome is not for the faint of heart, but if a little vulgar language doesn't put you off (OK, a LOT of vulgar language, but used correctly), check this out. You'll find yourself picking up a few copies for certain friends that will invariably come to mind.

Give this guy a Bronx cheer!!
2. Oktober 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Once again, Dr. Johnson has elucidated some of the darkest (and funniest) corners of the human mind and human speech. His "grasp" of the language is impressive, his "ear" for subtleties true, and his "delivery" powerful and overwhelming. I think Dr. Johnson should start an Institute for Correct Speech, Thinking and Living. His example shines before the world like a beacon of sanity in the darkness of this gloomy age.

Largely mediocre...and relatively nasty
11. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There were some nuggets of awesomeness throughout what was largely a mediocre - and relatively nasty - book. After having read his first book, I expected this one to expand in a good direction...i.e. creative and magnificent swearing. Well, it did expand, but mostly in areas related to crass & vulgar slang for various body parts and sexual acts. THAT might be "swearing," but I'm more inclined to call it nasty language. A good swear does not make you throw up a little in your mouth at the mental picture it creates. If done well, it is magnificent to the point of awe, and should rightly elicit a response of "WOW!" or utter speechlessness. The tripe that Sterling Johnson discusses in this book is for people who can do no better than parrot gross language about their anatomy and bodily functions.
This was (again) a great idea executed very poorly. It's base...and gross...and except for the occasional goodie, mostly definitely not funny. Especially...ESPECIALLY...if you have read the likes of Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, and myriad other phenomenal authors, whose awe-inspiring swears are worthy of any top ten list. Listen to George Carlin, a man who could swear with enviable ease. There are certainly others, but Sterling Johnson is most assuredly not among them.
