Note to foreigners:
Do not try to swear in English.
There is a wonderful quote in one of the volumes of David Niven's autobiography, which is referred to in the book's title.
On the set of a film with a Hungarian director who was often laughed at for his English.
The director wanted the riderless horses brought on to the set and said "bring on the empty horses" (book title). Much merriment.
He then lost his temper and said "you people, you think I know f**k nothing. Well, let me tell you, I know f**k all". Even more merriment
