I like to learn about words from around the world and use them in my speech. I have a particular love for British words. I just love words like spiv, nod, wasteman, barmy, slapper, bruv, lezza, shafted, nonce, junkie, bint, smackhead, nutter, slag, breve, chav, squiffy, slaphead, looney/loon, bender, and dosh.
Drongo from Australia is pretty funny.
When speaking to someone who doesn’t speak my native language, I tend to use a lot of English words.
It’s called speaking more than one language.
That’s not what I mean. Like do you use any words that are pacific to that language. Like in German they have a pacific word for the day after tomorrow. I forgot what it was though.
Übermorgen. It exists in English too but isn’t really used: overmorrow.

My grandma is German so I still drop words like this in otherwise normal English conversation. It’s just how me and my cousins called these things growing up.
Lappen- referring to a face washer/cloth
Barfuss- referring to barefoot
“Lappen” is also used as a fun but not overly offensive insult. Mainly for guys who act tough but really aren’t.
