...it doesnt matter what language....
Mine is "gliondar".....I was watching Joe Connolly on Reeling in the Years 1980 and that wonderful speech. It means a wee bit more than happy...typical Irish word...hard to translate but you know what it means....
As Gaeilge I like "Fite Fuaite" at the moment. It means all interlinked. I also like "trina cheile".
In English I llike "innit".
In French I came across "quelle bande de blaireaux des putains de bordel de merde" recently and it means "what a F*n shower of F*ers" and is very stylish .

Eluted is a great word.

Inappropriate is my favourite word today; it has certainly made work enjoyable for me today (i.e. it has wound up no end of obnoxious (another good one) f*ckers). ;)
Normally I also like peripatetic.
Did you ever hear the one about Phil Greene (RTÉ radio soccer commentator of old) and "peripatetic"?
I like "bhfaca tú" as in giving something bhfaca tú.

I've heard a load of great Philip Greene stories, but not that one. Go on.
Liam Nolan, a man who would engineer opportunities to use words like "peripatetic" just to show off his erudition (a word he'd probably love as well) used to anchor the Sunday sports programme on Radio One. One Sunday he was doing the round of the League of Ireland grounds for half-time reports.
He did Dundalk, Sligo, Athone, etc. and when the reporter from Ballybofey handed back, Liam says, "so we continue now on our peripatetic way and call in Philip Greene from Milltown – Phil?
Phil: "Well, there was nothing very pathetic about Rovers' performance here in the first half ..."
'The sky is blue, the grass is green, and here come Rovers!'
'f**k it - it's a goal!' - Bohs score against Rovers.
Barstooler.

It might be another version of this one, but the legend is that it went: 'And the ball comes across the area, and xxx must score for Rovers, and the bollocks missed it!'
