No slang from countries not listed in the thread title, please.

I think we should steal the Aussie slang ‘arvo’ and use it instead of ‘afternoon’.

What about you?

Do people in any of those places say ‘bosher’ not sure what it means but let’s use that one.

My Jewish American wife says “Oy” a lot and over the last seven years I have also subconsciously adopted it as my standard reaction word to anything vexing.

Nah, you just have to say it right. On occasions you can go the full “Oy vey” but you have to save that up for the full effect.
