Ok, one of the words I use all the time is "Chucksy" which is basically Cree for the whole male unit. I tend to always call my cousin a 'Chucksy Face' and now my fiancee who is white as white has appropriated this word and her family uses it all the time and its soooooooooo funny.

Nit noy - a little bit in Thai. It's just easier, somehow
And I have no idea how to spell it, but I like the Cree word for milk, because it sounds fun and it literally translates to breast water. Very practical language, Cree...0 -

English words do not fall into the category of Non-English words. If being intelligent enough to realise that makes me a thread nazi, then yes: I am a thread nazi.
On that note, I'd like to offer up the Yiddish term, schmuck.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmgphotos/sets/72157600802942672/">My Pearl Jam Photos</a>

it's a freakin' message board, relax! sorry i ruined your thread experience for not following directions to a T! i know the difference between non-English words and English words, that's just the only thing i could think of at the time. i didn't think i would be criticized for it from someone who is so anal....No need to be void, or save up on life...

These recent posts sound like they should be part of the "Angry English Words and Funny Comments thread"
That being stated, I found it humerus how the last two posts ended with the words "anal and "schmuck".

ok so in spanish (or latin america to be precise)....
pecados is sin
pescados is fish
i overheard an american speaking to a local in peru about Jesus dying on the cross for our pescados.....the look on the peruvians face was priceless - thinking Jesus died for my fish?
i also think a lot of Cantonese words sound funny but i'm not sure how i would spell them....like one that sounds like 'pee' for instance, you say "shafon pee?" for "who farted?" (we learned that one for the cab rides in Tianjin, China. it made the taxi drivers laugh every time....and we were young and silly) anyway, if they're arguing and they disagree, they'll say "pee!" and it's a curse word for them....but not if you say it for "who farted?" just thought that was funny and interesting.No need to be void, or save up on life...
