Review # 1 was written on 2007-07-02 00:00:00 Matthew Ahearn At first glance, this 1960 classic may look seriously out of date what with all the changes in the French language -- including its slang expressions and obscenities -- over the last nearly sixty years. Nonetheless I prefer this volume to some of its more recent competitors: it makes the student of French perform the right grammar to insult the right persons(s) in the right way, and it speaks to the appropriateness of doing so. This makes it much more useful and flexible than some of the Jacques-come-latelies. Any "Junior year abroad" student or serious tourist/traveler to any Francophone country can benefit from MERDE!, and it would make a great gift to such a person.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-27 00:00:00 Rex Thrown somewhat misogynistic, but that's slang for you. this book has helped me understand conversational french SO much better, because every-day french is much more vulgar than your professor would have you know.
