Next time you're traveling or just chattin' in Russia with your friends, drop the textbook formality and bust out with expressions they never teach you in school, including:
* Cool slang
* Funny insults
* Explicit sex terms
* Raw swear words

Dirty Russian teaches the casual expressions heard every day on the streets of Russia:

What's up? kak de-LA?

I really gotta piss. mnye O-chen NA-do pos-SAT.

Damn, you fine! blin, nu ti i shi-KAR-nii!

Let's have an orgy. da-VAI u-STRO-im OR-gi-yu.
