From the Manchester Guardian of October 13:

	ESPERANTO invective has evolved further than at first was thought.
	``Oh pilkoj'' would actually be a rather tame expression, says an
	expert, pilkoj being a word also applicable to billiard or tennis
	ball. ``Kojono'' would be the word to use if one wanted to be
	vulgar, close to the Spanish equivalent ``cojones''. Also available
	are ``pisi for'' (for means away or off), ``merdo'' and ``friki''.

That's all the Esperanto I know. Does anyone out there speak it, apart from
The Stainless Steel Rat?
