Points to whom ever gives the best or the most. I'll balance it. So anyway, i'm looking for those kind of phrases like those that most people dont use everyday. I can't think of anymore. Touche and Adieu are French, and Oy Vey is Yiddish/Hebrew. Many of these phrases will have come from different languages, I just want to know of other ones that I can use.
Indubadently yours, El Diablo

Bravo, El Diablo, for an interesting question. Carpe diem, which is Latin, and translates into "Seize the day." Caveat emptor, which is also Latin, and translates into "Buyer beware." Au revoir, which is French, and translates into "Until we see again." Mon Dieu. which is French, and needs no explanation for its translation.
Indubitably yours as well.
