Sockenschuss - actually a Sockenschuss is (according to wikipedia) when you casually sew your socks together so you don´t have to search them. However if someone tells you that you have one it means that you are a bit on the odd side....

Du hast einen Schatten - this means "You have a shadow" in translation, however it means about the same as having a "Sockenschuss"

Holla die Waldfee - this would translate as "Holla the forrest-fairy" and is an expression of surprise such as...

Herrjemine -  this is something you say if you are negatively surprised

Uppsala - is actually a swedish city, however whenever we stumble we tend to say it. I found no reference why.

I´ll probably find more, so there might be a part 2 of it someday
