Back when I first started to learn Mandarin, my professor was always giving us a lecture on the importance of being polite, not offending, and most importantly to always 'keep face' in any situation with the Chinese. It was useful, but what I really needed was a way to tell that pesky maid in Kunming to quit walking into my room unannounced at 6AM- and make it stick! That was when I started collecting a list of obscenities, curses, and just plain nasty talk. Now seven years later, I just might be the most potentially rude laowai around. So, without further ado, here you go- but remember, always say thank you!
