Drunk like a fish!

by Adriano Justin Capuano

No doubt, the English have a very good sense of humour! But did you know that the English language itself is hilarious too? Beyond the well known phrase ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’, this language boasts a wide range of very funny and, sometimes, cheeky (not to say rude) phrases that this book invites you to discover. Can you guess what the English mean when they say ‘To have a bee in your bonnet’ or ‘You can’t polish a turd!’ or even ‘ It’s dog’s bollocks!’? These phrases are introduced in context through five hilarious anecdotes depicting two young Frenchmen’s first trip to England. A glossary is also provided at the end of each story to help you check and fully enjoy the humorous meaning of these handpicked phrases. This book is aimed at any adult reader with a good sense of humour and/or an interest in the English language and culture. The ideal gift book for your friends or family! The perfect guide for your study of the idiomatic phrases you won’t find in your textbook! It is also recommended to College or University students in need of a motivational boost in their English studies.

About the author

Adriano Justin Capuano was born in the Paris area in the mid-seventies of a French mother and an Italian father. After graduating in English Literature and American Civilization at the Sorbonne University of Paris he went to settle happily in the south of England, where he met his English wife. He has been living there for the last nineteen years.

Cinema being one of his passions, he spent a lot of his time, as a young adult, in the art houses in Paris, which has left some footprints in his very visual and dynamic writing style.

The author has just released a humour book on the French language 'In France we eat sofas!' ('En France on mange des sofas!' as a French version) illustrating the great sense of humour of the French language! The French language like you've never been taught at school! Both versions are available in paperback or eBook on all amazon websites.

His very moving and intriguing novel 'Alicia to the Power of Three' is now also available in its French version ('Alicia Puissance Trois'). Both versions are available as paperback or eBook on all amazon websites.

He is also busy writing a book called 'The Disunited Kingdom' which will share a major theme with 'Alicia to the Power of Three' but with a different genre and story.
