Answer 1

If you wish to reference a book, I suggest the following:

The Street-wise Spanish Survival Guide A dictionary of over 3,000 Slang Expressions, Proverbs, Idioms and other Tricky English and Spanish Words and Phrases Translated and Explained

by Eleanor Hamer & Fernando Díez Urdanivia

purchased on Amazon

The book is 486 pages and gives cultural tips and historical information.

Personally, I like books/info like this. I may not be interested in ever using any of the bad words but at least I know what they mean when I hear them.

Also, Hide this Spanish book

Bueno, entonces is also a website that will give you some hair raising words. Words I didn't know existed even in English

great, thank you! - Fionagreen, Jan 30, 2011
