"'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. 'It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'"
- Lewis Carroll
(Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)

The Japanese are extraordinarily polite, soft-spoken, and tend toward vagueness and evasiveness in their speech and manner. Right? Wrong? Well, not always. Japanese can be just as explicit, just as cutting, vicious, vile, and downright vulgar as anyone could or would dare to believe. In this latest Jack Seward gem, page after page of threats, taunts, curses, and ridicule sets the story straight and leaves no taboo untouched. Discover oddities such as tonji (pig child) and daruma-geisha (round bottomed geisha). Learn the descriptive equivalents for lecherous devil, deadbeat, or tub of lard, and arm yourself with phrases meaning "Drop dead, you old fool" or "What sewer did you crawl out of?" Fun and instructive, this book is perfect for students of all levels as well as readers simply interested in Japanese. And for those of a practical mind with something that needs saying, try saying it - outrageously!
