Lol, we use perkele as well - adopted from finnish. It was particularily popular after a tv-show a couple of years ago where there was a finnish caracter who said it all the time, and after that, everybody started using it. Brilliant word.

actually, i have a piirka dvd and he never says perkele, always some strange modified version like "peileneitte" ?

I wouldn´t say favorite but I use these quit a lot; "omg" "lol" (yes, when speaking, my friends and I use this), "who cares"

I use "vamanos" to shoo my SO out of the house when we're late or in a hurry. I use "vite" in a similar way, a habit I picked up when I was an assistant dance teacher.

If I'm speaking to SO and he says something that sounds untrue or just wrong, or it surprises me, I tend to use "Ce n'est pas possible" Yeah, sad I know. Other random French phrases are used also, it's a habit because I've been taking French classes for so long.

"Lah" at the end of any sentence as in the Singaporean lah as well as "Can, cannot?" to mean "Can you or can't you?"

e.g.

"You told me to go home LAH!!!"

"Wenn zwei sich streiten freut sich der Dritte"

Basically...when two fight, the third one is happy about it
