English as She is Spoke: The New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese and English

What happens when someone who doesnâ€™t speak English attempts to write a Portuguese-English phrasebook? THIS is what happens."Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect.â€ â€“ Mark Twainâ€œ[T]he second chapter is titled â€˜Familiar Phrases,â€™ and features sentences intended to help the weary Portuguese traveler in everyday conversation. These phrases include classics like â€˜He has spit in my coatâ€™; â€˜take that boy and whip him to muchâ€™; and the oft-used â€˜these apricots and these peaches make me and to come water in mouth.â€™ â€“ Tucker Leighty-Phillips, Atlas Obscuraâ€œ[T]he book migrated to literary circles in London, where it became the Victorian equivalent of a viral video. Friends passed it to friends who giggled over â€” even then â€” unintentionally sexual phrases such as, â€˜He do the devil at four.â€™ â€“ Mike Drucker, Splitsider"Is there anything in conventional English which could equal the vividness of 'to craunch a marmoset'?â€ â€“ Stephen Pile
