Just wondering if any of you on the board are as entertained as I am by certain sayings that come from languages other than your own, and what those sayings might be.
I speak American english, and find the Queen's english to have so many sayings and slang terms that I wish I could use on a daily basis.
Such as:
"Have a go"
"Have a snog/shag"
"On the ****"
"Honking"
"Codswallop"
"Sod"
"Rogering"
"Cock up"
"Dodgy"
"Slapper"
I'm not even sure if all of these words/terms are used on a consistent basis, but they are all terms that I have heard spoken before and found to be funny.
Anyone have any more terms that come from a different language (per se) that are entertaining?
