Book excerpt: Sacre bleu! Even though your French teachers stuffed the subjunctive down your throat, they failed to give you all the necessary tools to communicate like a native. French argot (slang) is more than just dirty words, it's an immensely rich language with its own words for very ordinary things, words that are in constant use. Here is a survival guide to the real French, from body parts and bodily functions to epithets for every occasion. As an added treat, Genevieve gives instructions in the correct use of gestures--those silent but expressive signals so beloved by French motorists and shopkeepers. Most important, she reveals how the French language is a key to the spirit and character of the people who use it.--From publisher description.
