Los ángeles del cielo.

Always say it.

[bettiepage]

vagin.

[BB_Eye]

"Hua"

Mandarin for "flower"

[sooty]

Danke schon.

Thank you in German. I remember it from a song.

[Angus]

Vafunculo! (or Vai a fare in culo). One of the first phrases I learned when I was living in Italy many years ago. It basically means "Go ***** yourself"! Sounds so much nicer in Italian!

I like that to..

[MusicMan]

"Salchichas" Spanish for sausages
Also "Infarto"! Although it has the much darker meaning of heart-attack, it's a word that makes me giggle

[Harry!]

Je suis désolé = I am sorry (French)

[Claymores]

Shadenfreude - roughly meaning 'a wicked satisfaction at the misfortune of others' (especially when they are generally seen as deserving of this misfortune).

Trust the Germans to have a special word to sum-up this whole feeling

That's my favourite foreign word too.

[Ammi]

..pamplemousse is a great word.....

[DDRickyDD]

Putain.

[MusicMan]

Favourite German word at the moment: Oachkatzlschwoaf

It's a word in an Austrian dialect for Eichhörnchenschweif, which is the tail of a squirrel - great fun to get people to try and say!

[Livia]

Bumsen.

[Z]

A few in German...

ein Funkloch - an area where you get no reception or signal for electronic devices, normally out in the countryside, we don't really have a definitive term for that in English so I like that it exists in German... plus it sounds so German as well

Kummerspeck - literally a word to describe the weight you put on if you comfort eat means 'grief bacon'... trust the Germans

Fremdschämen - to be embarrassed for someone else.

[Jake.]

If I get this job, you have opportunities to learn different languages and travel, if so I'd love to learn German to visit the offices over there!

[Chuck]

Saudade is my favourite word in Portuguese, unfortunately it has no translation in English. It's the feeling you have when you miss something or someone when you sort of know that what/who you're missing is never coming back. It's very romantic and sad.

[Z]

So like if someone has died or something?

[Cherie]

Merde.

or if you broke up with a gf but you really wanted the relationship to have worked out. It's similar to nostalgia but more romantic.
