Foreign sayings creeping into your daily lives Posted on: 11.09.2012 by Leeanna Ayla We're largely an international community on here and as such I've caught myself saying things that I used to normally never say. Mate for example is something I never said unless I was doing a Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin impersonation. Anybody else catch themselves being influenced by our international DJTT members? | |

| Chong Mine 08.11.2012 | Used to say 'wallah' in a heavy accent when i was younger for a joke, its a common saying here. Looking back, it was kinda racist - It basically means 'I swear' or maybe 'I promise' |
| Latoria Kavulich 07.11.2012 | I've grown quite partial to "Douche Nozzle" .. Thanks Amerika |
| Len Lukawski 07.11.2012 | Mine refers to me as "oi f&cker" must be her Jewish roots. |
| Lauretta Ehrhorn 07.11.2012 | Bollocks is easily my favourite word ever....but I'm British so I guess it doesn't count. |

| Lin Danek 07.11.2012 | And on this topic - do ALL Americans call their spouses by their surname? His name is Nicholas Jessica, not Brody. |
| Latoria Kavulich 07.11.2012 | Nekk Minnit |
| Latoria Kavulich 07.11.2012 | Churr .. Cheers, Good, Thanks |

| Dorie Scelzo 06.11.2012 | "Mate" is the biggest one. Basil all of a sudden has a short a sound. Sometimes, I just can't help calling a guy a "right bloody cunt". Though never a girl. Twat (short a). Wanker. Git. Bloody… There are probably others. But I have a friend who lives in London. |

| Cassidy Galindez 05.11.2012 | I'm Canadian and somehow 'innit' has become part of my regular vocab. Saying 'proper' in the UK sense has picked up quite a bit too. |

Indonesian, I speak Indonesian fluently. Although all three differ in actual proper defination, the setiment is the much the same. I interchange these three, although I tend to use the appropriate term when loosing at foosball depending if im playing against the russians or the polish. I also call all my greek friends "malaka" |
| Annalisa Shogren 04.11.2012 | Fuck off mate, this one's a banger. You some kinda cunt or sumink? I'll have your bollocks inna vice and snip your 'elmet off. I don't really get how you can pick up words from a community , though... |
| Chong Mine 30.10.2012 | Aussies+Kiwis that use the word 'ranga' to describe a ginger is one of my favourites |
| Latoria Kavulich 30.10.2012 | "fair suck of the sav" ^ your homework. |

Not really foreign...but the youngsters these days (Oh god...did I just say that?) have their own style now. You know, the shortened text and what nots. I ended up picking up WOOT....which for those who don't know....is a Whistle. I also use EISH a lot, but thats a locally used word by our black brothers. |
| Chong Mine 30.10.2012 | 'word' I believe its an American thing, i just dont know anymore |

| Len Lukawski 16.09.2012 | I am also happy to report that I have more Americans using my slang than the other way around. On average it takes me using the word "mate" 3 or 4 times during a 30 minute cab ride to the airport to ensure the taxi driver says "goodbye mate" when he drops me off. |

Fuppin Baxtards the lot of ye' !
My contribution to this wonderful exchange of culture and language |
| Len Lukawski 16.09.2012 | Or perhaps "Klunge Master" |
