Germans blow off steam with swearing hotline

BERLIN, July 27:Two German entrepreneurs have devised a way for passive-aggressive citizens to blow off some steam - dial a telephone number and give the person on the other end a verbal lashing. The swearing hotline, known as �Schimpf-los� (�swear away�) in German, has operators standing by seven days a week for frustrated individuals to jeer at and taunt using the most unsavory language they can muster.
