I am German, (and moreover 40+). As we Germans take everything very serious, here is my philological review of this important book:Being a German (did I mention that already?) I can recommend this book without concerns to Germans to learn "Dirty (American at least) English" - seriously !The other way round it is more tricky. You will learn much about German language without doubt, but many of the used phrases are not 100% correct or not really common or are out of a certain joke and what is meant, could be understood only, if the person knows that joke or you tell him/here the joke before..Some examples:"Schnitzelkind" cannot be commonly understood, you need to know the mentioned joke/explanation before.Of course many words and phrases fit well, and are commonly known, for example "Grufti", "dicke Freunde", "quatschen", "Das ist g#il.""K#ckvogel" can be good understood as an insult but is not a common word, it's more a word creation."Eiweisstorsten" for a man having muscles, is difficult to understand and not at all a common word."Tussistempel" for a common tattoo which girls are used to have at the back at a certain place, is a wrong word nearly nobody would understand- "#rschgeweih" is the correct one for that."Hol mir mal ne Flasche Bier" is not a question, but an order."srz" as a German phrase used in a chat as a replacement for the English "sry" (sorry), was new to me. It may be a good joke in the hacker community knowing details about German keyboards, but it is surely not commonly understood. I laughed after understanding it (after 12 minutes and 8 s or so), but others may not get it at all... ;-)And so on...
