Dirty Russian: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off!" (repost)

Dirty Russian: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off!" By Erin Coyne and Igor Fisun
2009 | ISBN: 1569757062 | English/Russian | PDF | 160 pages | 6,2 Mb

A guide to Russian slang. It intends to fill the gap between how people really talk in Russia and what Russia language students are taught.
Next time you’re traveling or just chattin’ in Russia with your friends, drop the textbook formality and bust out with expressions they never teach you in school, including:

• Cool slang
• Funny insults
• Explicit sex terms
• Raw swear words

Dirty Russian teaches the casual expressions heard every day on the streets of Russia:

What's up?
kak de-LA?
I really gotta piss.
mnye O-chen NA-do pos-SAT.
Damn, you fine!
blin, nu ti i shi-KAR-nii!
Let's have an orgy.
da-VAI u-STRO-im OR-gi-yu.
This is crappy vodka.
d-ta VOD-ka khre-NO-va-ya.
Let's go get hammered.
poi-DYOM bukh-NYOM.
I'm gonna own you, bitch!
ya te-BYA VI-ye-blyu!
