Foreign Slang that You Use?

[The_Echo]

My spoken vernacular is growing steadily more memetic, if that counts as slang. I'm still using "xception," even. I'd also like start using hepcat slang from the '30s swing scene.

I intend to become fluent in German, and possibly a few other languages (Romanian, Russian, Japanese), so it wouldn't be so farfetched to believe I'll be using international slang every now and then someday.

I use the words "bloody" and "bleeding" in place of "fucking", it shows sufficient frustration without having to worry about censoring myself

I use the word "twat" sometimes. (Yahtzee's fault)

I've used the words "weeabu" and "otaku"

When people call me a fag in video games, I question why they refer to me as a bundle of sticks and emphasize that I do not share any common qualities with a bundle of sticks
I sometimes say "Nein" in place of "No", but that's not really slang

Does feth count as foreign slang?

Of course it does you gak head!

I pretty much use "Frak", "Feth" and "Oh for Throne's shake!" these days when something annoys me. The first two are really useful if you work in an office or something, it's just made up words.

I also seem to use the word "Bloody" sometimes without warning, it's bloody weird I know.

 

[Grogman]

It's not really intentional, but I often say certain words in different languages, just because I forget the English word for it. For example, thinking I just said "thanks," I realise afterwards that I say "danke." I do this for pretty much any language I know any words in, which at the moment is mainly German, French, Spanish, Japanese and, more recently, Korean. What confuses me is that I can barely speak basic French and almost none of any other language.

As for slang, I often use what some would consider American slang, just because so much of British TV seems to be American, and some slang that me and my brother made up or got from the MBMBaM podcasts.

Does feth count as foreign slang?

Of course it does, Tanith is foreign

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

There's simply a lot of words I use, mostly ones I pick up on the Internet. Bloody or bleedin' _____ are my most used.

 

[necromanzer52]

I've taken to swearing in japanese...and talking to myself in japanese...and occasionally other people.

I've also picked up a lot of american slang (sup dude etc).

 

[Hollyday]

Swearing in foreign languages is one of life's greatest pleasures. Not only do you find an outlet for your frustration, but those around you have no idea what you just said. Do yourself a favour and do it at every possible opportunity

 

[Kaland]

I use too much english in my daily norwegian. It's not exactly slang, rather quotations and words that I don't recall the norwegian word for in the moment; It sounds stupid.
The only other languages I know some of except english are spanish and japanese (just about the bare minimum to be able to read through Harry Potter in spanish , and some shorter stories like 夢十夜　and　藪の中 in japanese　at least）. However, I never use those in my daily language.
Some norwegians use a few german words as slang (klein, spaß, scheiße), espesially in the area around the capital (Oslo). There's also a myriad of different dialects and two different written forms of the language in Norway, so I guess one could take several words from there(f.ex. kvervelvind instead of tornado, flogvit instead of geni(genious)). Anyway, so far I don't have much foreign slang in my language, except for the english mentioned in the first paragraph.

 

[Pharsalus]

I drop a smeg pretty frequently (US).

 

[Sougo]

I swear and use slang almost exclusively in all languages other than my native tongue.

English is not my native tongue. Neither is Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish or German.

And when ye find a sneer creasing mine face, and my lips parted, thou shalt bear witness to a volley of colourful abuses dispatched from my lashing tongue.

Or I might just smile and say hello.

 

[DrgoFx]

I use the Greek words Malakas, Vlakas and Pousti which translate to Asshole, Idiot and ******. Other Greek I use is Opa which means extreme happiness or extreme annoyance and frustration. It also goes hand in hand with Re. So "OPA RE." is like "OH SHIT DUDE." I also use Fethasto which is Thank you.

I also use Yebo or Sho which is Afrikaans for Yes and "Ok;sure;got it;no problem." Bucky is another thing I use which is the name of a small, typically in bad shape Pick-up Truck.

I use British terms like Spesh or Wank or Bollocks. I use the word **** in the Scottish sense of it meaning Brat. I use Bloody sometimes too. Fucking A I think is a British term? But I was introduced to it as meaning a bad thing. Like "FUCKING A MAN. I have a test tomorrow..."

 

[loc978]

...I sometimes catch myself using German words for things. Lived there a couple years. Also, in a certain setting with a certain type of person, I use the slang form of schlange to refer to a part of myself.

 

[McShizzle]

In Ottawa (Canada) you kind of get mix of a few different cultures. From the French, I enjoy "Calice", "Tabarnak" and "Tabernouche". From the Brits I like to use "Bollocks", "Wanker", and "Twat". "Scheissekopf" from the Germans is fun. Also, I like calling people "Sweetheart" in an Irish accent, not the friendly way mind you, the real mean way.

 

[Death Carr]

Being a level 85 weeaboo, I usually mutter under my breath in Japanese, and have been known to, on occasion, answer the phone in Japanese.

Its very awkward when your Nanna rings you and you answer with 'Moshi moshi' rahter than the customary 'Hello'

 

[Starik20X6]

I've borrowed 'tidy', 'crackin' and a few others from Wales. Watch Gavin and Stacey and you'll see what I mean. Not so much slang, but I also find myself saying 'what' a lot after watching Mad Men. Can't think why...

 

[Crazy Zaul]

I used to use 'Koulva' or 'Koulva Mar' which is Polish for Fuck or Fuck off or whatever cos there were a lot of Polish people at work that say it all the time and it sounded quite good.

oh when I played Thief DS I started using 'You taffer' and 'Burrics!' for a few months. and 'Nwah!' from Morrowind

 

[malestrithe]

I tend to use Bruja a lot.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

"eegit" which is irish for idiot, it kinda stuck since our Raid leader was irish so some of the derps in our guild would get berated quite badly from time to time.
Also klutz, which is japanese.

Other than that all british, well and some cockney rhyme slang, but that still technically british.

 

[Sethran]

I use whatever feels right for the occasion. Though, the prevalence of David Tennant's Doctor who has made me use 'Molto Bene' more often than previously.
