A good book to get if you're into cursing

Hi,
Great idea to transcribe the curses! I wanted to let you know of a good book called _Outrageous Chinese: A Guide to Chinese Street Language_ and it's by James J. Wang. It has a variety of curse words as well as warnings about homophones -- how to avoid inadvertently saying something inappropriate.

Oh -- and for the person who's irate about the pinyin -- even though that's the most modern method of transliteration, it's not the only one, and anyone who's studied Chinese and pinyin for any length of time would be able to figure it out. Try thinking instead of swearing.
