Like Panther, "Na moolah" has turned into my catchall phrase for not knowing, caring or otherwise.
Who's that?
Na moolah. (don't know, don't care)
I also seem to have replaced "alcohol" with "sul (sool?)", "food" with "shiksa", and "cigarette" with "dambe".
What were you doing last night?
I was having some top-drawer shiksa and sool (sul?). Pass me a dambe.
Last time I was home, my friends had no idea what I was talking about. |

I'd hazard a guess that 'upshyo' is perhaps 'opseoyo'.
Nabi .... butterfly, but that doesn't seem to fit the context. |

If a girl has a husband or boyfriend, but you still think she'd like a slice you ask her "can I get one past the goalkeeper", I can only remember it in korean when I've cut the film. |

Not really an expression but I'll always called my wife and baby by adding a "ya" at the end of there name. Might start doing it to other friends as well.
Actually, will probably use "yah" quite a bit. |

Someone posted it a few weeks ago but that Korean saying to express futility: "Holding on to a dead boy's balls" would be an instant attention getter in a conversation. |
