    A very useful word in Korean that I find does not exist in English is 눈치, or "nunchi".

    In Tagalog, leche = semi expletive, annoying.

    Leche ka David Stern! (David Stern you annoying man!)
    *ka means literally "you"

    Interestingly, we also use leche to call a certain dessert the Leche Flan

    greek for worm hole. I love this word (you've gotta say it fast).





    Bepsi!






    "nickel" in French is awesome too. As in something is awesome = "c'est nickel!" Which is a derivation of "nickel chrome", representing "the coolest/finest". I love how our culture permeates foreign languages. S**k it!!
