Things They Should Invent: a book on how to swear fluently in other languages

I know lots and lots of swear words in all kinds of languages. But I don't know how to use them properly. I think I know how to use them properly, but I always come out sounding like Spock on Star Trek IV.

I want books on how to swear fluently in every language! Someone go and write them!

    I ask this with knowledge, from your blog, of your line of work and so on... are insultmonger.com and youswear.com not useful resources!?

    Though I do trust the Zompist Phrasebook as well, so I'm not one to judge...

    YouSwear is brilliant! They have phraseology, which is really what the problem is! I wish there was room for comments though, so people could make suggestions when they think a phrase isn't good.

    Zompist Phrasebook is 100% completely accurate except when it's funnier not to be.

    Well for a recreational profaner like myself, YouSwear is certainly the goods. I'm glad you like it.

    And Zompist is truly wonderful. I recommend it strongly to all cultural imperialists...
