Silly Site o' the Day

When I was younger I developed the habit of cursing in foreign languages 'cause, you know, I thought it was more interesting than using all that gutteral Germanic all the time. Although as I recall I could never get my dad to teach me any Romanian obscenities. Well, now I don't have to, because, via Will Shetterly, there's now a bunch of alternative dictionaries online that feature "Slang, profanities, insults and vulgarisms from all the world." Although after looking through the alternative Romanian dictionary I'm starting to understand why my dad didn't teach me any of these words, I think some are too much even for my 47-year-old sensibility...
