Foreign Slang that You Use?

[JordanXlord]

I sometimes use British slang like mate, bloody, bollocks, and wanker.

It's just fun to say.

This is my answer as well

But i also like using the words Chav and Cheerio

 

[Waaghpowa]

I tend to use British idioms in place of swears. Since I live in North America, most people can't tell what I really mean, so it's great to use at work.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

I prefer the phrase "bloody hell" when I get frustrated with something, or I'm shocked. It really bothers my father for some reason, though

 

[Darren716]

I use British slang since I am about 50% British, use random other words like fonguli (Italian for fuck), and I speak in Internet slang sometimes

 

[Little2Raph]

I'm not sure from which nation it originated, but in Australia white aussies are sometimes referred to as "skips". Even though it's meant to be derogatory to all white people, I've taken to using it a lot even though I'm white myself to describe a certain breed of ignorant racist white people we have here. In much the same way as Huey Freeman uses the "N" word in The Boondocks (which is where I got the idea from in the first place).

 

[Sangreal Gothcraft]

Some british slangs>.>....*Looks at Yahtzee.* And Perkele!*thorws vodka on ground* and very rarely spanish slangs.

 

[twaddle]

i use Australian slang on occasion. I say Aye mate but since I the kings english, most of my american friends can't tell the difference.

 

[Innegativeion]

I absolutely love British slang.

I try not to overdo it and sound obnoxious, but "wanker", "bollocks", "twat", "bloody", and "arse" all feature prominently in my vocabulary.

Also, the Irish "eejit", if I'm trying to emphasize that I'm jokingly calling someone a moron.

 

[XandNobody]

All the British classics mostly, especially 'bloody' though. Though I have a special place in my heart for 'bollocks', 'twat', 'wanker', you know, the classics.

As for other languages, a bit of a Japaneese 'baka' here and there, German 'nein', the french gave me 'merde' which I am very grateful for. Hmm... 'Me gusta' from Spanish is a new one I've adopted too.

I know there are others, but those are probably the most used from the top of my head.

 

[Innocent Bystander]

My love of british t.v. has brainwashed me into such phrases as "bloody hell", "bollocks", "bugger" in normal conversation.

 

[Freechoice]

I use quite a few American mannerisms, like 'guy', 'dude'.

Other than that, I'm English through and through (without the racism )

CONTRADICTION

It's not either or there, pal.

 

[Parkway91]

Im Australian but I frequently use a selection of other countries slang. Bollocks, twat from England. I call tomato sauce ketchup. Every now and then I like to use spanish for one single phrase, Donde esta mis pantalones.

 

[Generalissimo]

i will sometimes call people i don't like "schweinhunts" german for "bastard"

i also sometimes say "dude"

also worth mentioning, i tend to say "tarrah" (northen english slang for good bye)

 

[Soxafloppin]

Hmm, I don't think "Muthafuka" originated in Northern Ireland.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

I generally dislike most Americanisms because I associate them with ditzy airhead teens and college dudes. However the word "clusterfuck" is perhaps America's greatest contribution to language and my favourite, albeit seldom used, slang word. It has no British equivalent, perfectly summarises a given situation and is immensely gratifying to use.

 

[smithy_2045]

I use "y'all" quite frequently, half to take the piss out of Americans, and half because it's convenient.

 

[Bvenged]

I use the american "dude" a lot.
I also like to scream german "Neine!" at friends who don't get the fact that I said NO about 50 times, it just sounds better than yelling "no" again. When I go online in the afternoon/evening I sometimes greet friends with "Guten tag".

Another one I use, though not rarely, is the Greek for "god almighty" (or something along those lines). I speak it but don't read it so I don't have the foggiest how it is spelled; so I'll spell it as phonetically correct to how I say it as possible.
If anyone speaks Greek properly, help me out here :

Pan (bahn?) - ni - am - or - ai (ay).

Well actually it could be Turkish-cypriot. But I'm fairly certain it's Greek-cypriot.
