Bad words in Comahue

The University of Comahue has a unit in San Martin where - amongst other courses - there is a programme in English for Tourism. My friend Gaby teaches there, and today I went to give a talk to her students. They don't often get native speaker teachers in, and when asked for a topic told me they wanted me to talk about 'swearing'. To lend a little academic credibility I interpreted this as 'taboo language', and promptly spoiled the effect by some rather iffy line drawings to illustrate parts of the body, intimate positions and practices, etc. I guess a good time was had by all, and I dedicate today's blip to Gaby's students.
