Synopsis
In this tour of anger, exasperation, prejudice, irony and loathing as expressed in some twenty European tongues, we learn that what is invective in one country is sweet talk in another; that a German's arsehole is an Italian's son of a bitch; and why you should never, ever call a Finn a Swede, a Portuguese woman a nanny-goat or a Spanish one a vixen. A single currency? Maybe. A common language? Not on your life.
