I have many favourites in moi's multi-lingual vocabulary (as opposed to others' techno-literacy, whatever!):
From the Celtic Irish:
-"Pogue Mahone" ...which sounds like a greeting but means, "Kiss Me Arse"
-"Slainte" ... which means "Your Health!", when met by anyone else!
From the French:
Merde...which translates somehow to "Shit" (It's like those French have a different word for everything!, according to Steve Martin!")
From the Cantonese:
Ay-Yah! - which apparently means "Oh, My God!" or so I am told!
Of the Yiddish Gesprocken:
Geschecktigezeucht..which is what Mike Meyers as Linda Richman on SNL always says for "not vell, not feeling myself!"
Ferklempt...even more overcome ...talk amongst ourselves...I'll give you a tawpic....
"Do You think that if Russia Invaded Turkey from the rear that Greece would help?" Discuss!
Feigele! (It's Pride Week, after all!)
From the Italian: "Attente Al Cane!"...Watch Out for your own Dog"
From the Spanish: "Dos Cervezos, Por Favor!(2 Mexican Beers With Toilets nearby, if you please!)
From German: "Ausgeszeichnet!"...which Means "Excellent!"
From Hindu, etc: "Namaste"...which means, "My spirit speaks to your spirit" or something akin!
From Cree: (language of the Western Plains Native Peoples) "Moni-Aw", which directly translates as the name for White-Tailed Deer, or "White-Asses"!
And, of course, my very favourite English Language Words:
-Whatever
-As if
-Like
-So Bogus
-Ok, I do have a teenager in the house...As If, like, you don't...Whatever...This is all so Bogus!!!
