Block your ears
You know those organised dinners where you sit at the end of a table with a group of people you mostly haven't met before; you try to shout a conversation, and by the end of the evening your ears are ringing. A few nights ago we went to one of those. It was okay.
At one point, the proprietor visited our table. He told us he was born inPortugal , and raised in France .
I couldn't resist boasting. "Oh, I can swear in Portuguese!"
"Really. Tell me."
I didn’t want to blurt out something excessively offensive, but he said it was fine.

PS - I'm really not sure what this means, but you'll observe an F-word in there.

“Puta que pariu”.
Apparently that’s nothing, so I asked him for something that would really make my Portuguese tutor blush.
A little while later, he returned with this piece of paper. If Portuguese profanities upset you, you’d better avert your gaze now.
Just wondering - if you can’t read the language, is it still swearing?
