CONTENTS:
On China, slang, language, and how to read this book -- Cow pussy, yes, cow pussy: A quick romp through the vagaries of the Chinese language, via one delightfully dirty word -- The Chinese art of everyday abuse : Chinese candor, the cruelly literal nickname, and why it's good to be mean -- profanity and swearing: from 'turtle egg' to 'idiot's cunt'-- Men & women: flirting, dating, love, & marriage : she might let you 'eat her tofu,' but you'll probably have to carry her purse -- Sex and body parts -- Here's hoping you don't have to resort to a 'chicken' or a 'duck' to avoid sitting at home 'shooting planes' -- Gay slang: the pleasures of the bitten peach, and the passion of the cut sleeve -- Behaving badly: words for doing things you'll regret in the morning -- Internet slang : censorship, friendship, and killing time -- Top 25 terms you need to know.
