The Dutch also like to think they can speak English very well and understand the nuances of the language. This sometimes causes a problem when abroad.</p> <p>I found myself in a cab in Reading, England with colleagues, most Dutch, one Australian. Rounding up our international bunch was the Indian cabbie. A Dutch guy was talking about his Chinese girlfriend.</p> <p>“She’s a bit of a cunt sometimes.”</p> <p>The cabbie looked at us in his mirror. The Australian snorted in disbelief. The Dutch people sat unfazed and me, being only slightly more attuned to the intricacies of the English language, sat there wide-eyed taking all this in. “Uhm, cunt is really not a word you can say around here”, I ventured, eyes locked with the cabbie in his rear-view mirror. “That’s a bit of a fucking understatement!”, thundered the Australian, not the most subtle at the best of times. The rest of the trip I sat pushed into my seat, awkwardly debating the merits of the word “cunt” while the cabbie eyed us at every opportunity.</p> <p>Which brings me to <a title="Jon Ronson on telling his son the worst swearword in the world" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/jul/28/weekend.jonronson">Jon Ronson on telling his son the worst swearword in the world</a>.
