In reply to david s. Yes, Maltese is indeed a colourful language (which is why I tend to switch to it when I am really heated up about something).

Try this site.. http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Maltese. Pretty disgusting actually but very representative of a certain, thankfully rarer than often imagined, breed.

Daphne,

Good stuff.

Not sure I get that ‘racist’ shot from PParnis, if it was aimed at me.

The link to my own site is here:

A publisher in San Franciso does a lively line in swearing dictionaries from languages around the world. Is there a Maltese version? I do not recommend the Polish one as you die laughing reading it.

In reply to Isard du Pont. Judging by the facial expressions of Jason and that young man on the left, I hope that Jason did not extend his right hand unduly whilst hiding behind that award.

In reply to PParnis. I tend to somewhat agree. However, considering the attitude of Maltastar's editor, it is painfully understandable.

In reply to Andrea.

Hi and thanks for sparking off an interest in the German language. How’s this for starters ”Consie scheist immer auf den alles popolus und (even gott) stays shlaffen.”

Apologies to your language but you get the drift.
Auf wiedersehen

And here’s one which would apply for all the people who jumped on the “let’s sue Daphne” bandwagon:’

Toni jahra fejn ixommu. (Mil-ktieb ta’ qwiel Maltin pubblikkat minn Muscat Azzopardi xi tletin sena ilu.)
