Street French Slang Dictionary and Thesaurus by David Burke
If a French native told you that the new movie is a "turnip" (un navet), should you go see it? Or if a passerby calls you a "sausage" (une andouille), should you respond by saying thank you? The answer to both questions is an indisputable, "No"! But how would a nonnative speaker know this? Thanks to David Burke's newest book, there's no need "to hit your biscuit" (se frapper le biscuit; "to worry") any longer! "The Street French Slang Dictionary & Thesaurus" offers English equivalents and usage tips for over one thousand French terms, including slang words, idioms, proverbs, colloquialisms, and vulgarities. It also offers an extensive thesaurus featuring over one thousand French slang synonyms for common English words and phrases - all destined to make you feel like an insider in no time.
DAVID BURKE is the author of Street French 1: The Best of French Slang, Street French 2: The Best of French Idioms, Street French 3: The Best of Naughty French, Street Spanish 1: The Best of Spanish Slang (also available from Wiley), plus Street German 1, Street Talk 1, 2, & 3, and Biz Talk 1 & 2.
