My headphones are broken, that's lame.

Anyway
i decided since i should be sleeping i'll just throw out some of my favorite sayings that i've come up with over the years of experimenting with foreign languages.

so
*el ahem*

espanol(con tilda):
El gato in la piedra! -this is used as an insult or a direct accusation, mind you for no reason whatsoever
?Que Coche?- Necessary in situations in which you find yourself being prodded by questioning or simply to get out of answering logically.
?Que Pedo?- i think this means "what fart?" they told me that's what it meant in mexico, but then again they also told me all the swear words they knew and led me to other mexicans to call them names...i'm too trusting sometimes
Lo siento por favor-I was fond of using this one when i made a mistake or if i just didn't know what was going on at the time.
?Que Perro?-much like the "coche" one you can just use this one to get out of answering the question at hand.

Im Francese:
Je Suis Mais Oui- Scenario: I did something i may not want to fess up to, *insert phrase*.
Sacre Vash-Throw this one out when e'r you feel like it.
*i don't know how to spell much of anything else in French so i'm going to quit while i'm ahead*

Italian: *still working on these*
...okay i lied, i don't have any goofy italian phrases thus far

Deutsch:
Was?
Wo?
Wie?
Wer? ----Interchange the use of any of these to contextually false situations and anyone who speaks a lick of german will be immediately confused...you will too, but that's bound to happen!
Ich mochte...*insert unnecessary verb or noun*-this helped me many a time when i found myself being asked about my weekend by Frau and had nothing else to say...she let me off the hook soo many times it's ridiculous.

There are a great many more i'm sure but i'm at a bit of a loss at present so i will update posibile mas tarde.

Penso posso dormire
