ANDIAMO!- This is my catch phrase with my friends. Italian for let's go
SPRIGATI!- Italian for hurry. I say this a lot, too. Sometimes I'll say Ragazzi, Sprigati! Italian is a fun language to shout in. I love the word Ojala in Spanish because of its arabic sound. J'espere in french sounds very sexy to me. Then again, the whole language is sexy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I always feel great saying the equivalent of "cheers" in whichever language I need. I especially like how it sounds when speaking Hungarian or Polish.
Egészségedre! / Egészségére! / Egészségetekre! / Egészségünkre! / Egészségükre! (Hungarian - in all of its forms depending on formality and/or number of people present) Na zdrowie! (Polish) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I guess my favorites in English category would have to be: "atrocity" and directly delivered from that one "atrocious".
I'd have to think about my picks in other languages. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I like to use the German interjection "Gott im Himmel!" ...even though I'm an atheist. :)

Precisely, Levi! I pepper my speech with "Gott sei Dank" when I'm not in the least bit religious. I have no idea where it comes from.
