What's your favorite "foreign" expression?

From Germany: papierkreige.
Literally translated: paper war. A German way of saying "red tape".

"Fuck sake" is a nice one I picked up from some Brits at Elsinore.

Also the Russian equivalent of "fuck you" is "yobe tvoyu matz" (that's the best I can transliterate it from the Cyrillic alphabet). It literally means "I fucked your mother".

Also some guy I knew who spent a short time in a Russian jail said the other prisoners were calling a Chinese inmate "Suy Khuy B'Chai", which means "stir your dick in the tea".

I say bon appetite before a meal, and salud when the drinks arrive... I used to say ciao a lot because my latin american colleagues did, but then someone said it was pretentious to do that.

Is that true?

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Ooh! I forgot! I know an arabic cuss word that is especially offensive coming from a woman. It sounds like Klingon, and made a waiter step away from me when I said it.

I'd rather not type it.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Yep it is incredibliy pretentious...but that's why I like it, some sodding non-italian thinking they are getting all continental on everyones ass or even worse actually believing they are very sophisticated and they actually know a foreign word! I do it just for that reason alone especially when I've sunk a few pints of silly sauce.

Even though it is my native tongue I love the brit term "tosser", sums it all up quite nicely when someone is one, everyone knows exactly what you mean in one simple eloquent word.
