Vocabulous

Today we had a trip orientation thing at school, which included safety and language and pizza. The safety spiel was less painful that I thought it was going to be, and the language portion was as helpful as a 1-hour language lesson can be. Pizza was decent.

I learned the words for torture (muceneje) and orphan (djete iz doma), so I'm happy about that.

One of our classmates e-mailed us an extensive list of Croatian swear words and phrases. Man, those Balkanites have some dirty mouths. I'd love to share the most vulgar terms, but this is a family friendly blog.

There are still some good PG-13 sayings, including my personal favorite:

Skočit ću ti golom guzicom u lice -- I will jump in your face with my naked ass

Other winners:

1. Posro ti se bog u invalidska kolica -- God has shitted in your wheelchair (I wonder, can you only use this with crippled folk?)
2. Sprdim ti se u facu -- I fart in your face
3. Grickaj mi crno ispod no nih nokata -- Nibble on the black dirt under my toe nails


I'm digging the curses, but perhaps I should learn how to say "hello" before I master these.

Since you're backpack only allows you to stay for 2 days, you probably don't have to worry about even learning "hello". But those are some fabulous picks.
