Even if you don’t swear or use bad words in English, you know what they are. You learned what they were at some point in your life, even if the only reason was to avoid them. The same principle can be used while learning Spanish. I don’t swear a lot in English, right now. There was a time when I swore a lot. I’m not planning on swearing a lot in Spanish, but I wanted to know, partly for curiosity and partly to know when I was being insulted or made fun of.
Also you want to make sure you’re not insulting anyone by accident by saying the wrong word or a word in the wrong way. Knowing profanity doesn’t make you a profane person, it makes you smarter so you know which words to avoid.
What I found was that it depends on what country you’re going to or in my case, where the people you’re talking to came from. Swearing has more to do with the local slang and how certain words have a meaning in one country and may mean something completely different in another country or the biggest point – In what context it’s used. Do I have to use an example? Balls. Perfectly normal everyday, family rated word used all of the time. But used in a certain context, has a completely different meaning.
Ultimate Book of Spanish Swear Words – the best and nastiest Spanish swearing and talking dirty reference. It’s full of the nastiest Spanish you’ll find anywhere.
This is the best Spanish swearing resource I have ever seen. The free slang and curse words you may find on the internet, may or may not be right. There are a ton of Spanish slang books on the market and most are filled with worthless or outdated information.
Signing up to be notified of the MP3 when it’s ready is optional and I haven’t been spammed by them at all, which is always good.
It’s only $7. More than the free resources that are incomplete or wrong and spread throughout the internet and it’s cheaper and filled with more dirty Latin slang than most any book you will find listed at Amazon or anywhere else.
It’s a great deal with some really nasty Spanish, definitely worth the $7. I highly recommend it if you want to talk some really nasty Spanish. The audio of this book should not only be informative, but hilarious as well. There are some really crazy phrases in here that will crack you up.

1Understanding and knowing swear words in Spanish is a good idea but just so you can recognize them. Maybe I’m a bit of a puritan but I think swearing in a foreign language is pretty “feo,” especially for females.
I once saw a request in the Spanish-English forum of Word Reference.com from an Irish lass who wanted Spanish speakers to give her swear words and phrases because she didn’t speak Spanish but she noticed that whenever she used vulgar language in Spain, that people would laugh. Hmm. More than likely people were laughing AT her and not with her.
Especially with some of the macho aspects of Spanish, there are certain terms and phrases that really don’t sound good coming out of the mouth of a woman. Proceed with caution.

5I enjoy the way people use euphemisms to swear without shocking, much like saying “gosh darn it!” in English. Can you figure out what they are saying when they say “cangrejo” or “caramba”? How about “teclas” or “ostras”?
