News and Announcements
Do you want to learn about "bad words" in English? If so, I suggest you check out this book: Dangerous English.
In it, you will find the medical terms you need when you go to the gynecologist, the urologist, and the pharmacy. It also contains many terms you'll hear in the street, locker room and movies. Euphemisms, slang, children's words, colorful and off-color idioms for sex and bathroom terms are explained through pictures, easy English, and sample sentences. Each term is labeled with its level of usage, so you can distinguish vulgar terms from the socially acceptable words that you may use in "polite company." You will be warned about pronunciation embarrassments, sexual harassment, non-verbal no-no's, racial slurs, politically incorrect terms, and common words with double meanings. You'll learn the historical events and cultural influences that cause language to become taboo.
