love the Spanish exposed here :lol:

mine could be:

realmente dudo que entiendan lo que estoy diciendo, así que puedo decir cualquier cosa, incluso insultarlos y ustedes no se darán cuenta :shifty:
 
Many French phrases, including

J'taime
Je ne sais pas
Je ne said quois
Voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Zut alors!

And then just because I'm weird:

Ostorozhno! Dveri zakryvayutsya. This is Russian for Caution! The doors are closing. :D
 
C'est la vie -- is one of my fav!!

There's a word my guy often says -- it's Arab, if I remember it well, and it's "Zuby" -- something like a dirty way to say "it's a pity"

* Sometimes I use english words to replace bad words :reject: :D. like:

- Deja de ser tan "bitch" - o que "man" tan "bitch"
- Préstame el "fucking" lápiz

and there's a phrase from a song of Manu Chao that I like a lot

"je ne t'aime plus, mon amoir"

Several Yiddish words have dug their way into everyday conversations (especially in Hollywood....lol)

Bubalah = dear
Nu? = well
Tsuris = trouble
Mensch = man (meaning someone who is a decent human being)
Nosh = snack
Kvetch = to nag or complain
 
a phrase I just read:

Chi non punisce il male, comanda che si faccia - Leonardo Da Vinci

He who does not punish evil, commands it to be done
 
hahah sorry, its a made up word that we say in an italian accent when we get annoyed at something. It comes from my boyfriends aunt who is italian and speaks very fast and she dropped a big bowl of spaghetti all over the floor and said in a high pitched and fast voice 'manaja catchitory!' or something to that effect and everyone laughed, so now its something we say a lot. Sorry for the confusion! :wink:
