I use this word on the regular, dude, it's so good. I generally turn on what remains of my Georgia accent when I use it, because it makes that word like 30x better.
My favorite word is "luleshtrydhe," which means "strawberry" in Albanian. Use Google Translate's "speak" function to see why.
VonKleist:
If we´re talking dialect my favorite has got to be "nervenjeck". nerven -> nerves; jeck -> crazy; so it translates to "skittish/on edge/excited/fussy".. along thoses lines.
So if you say "Mach mich net nervenjeck", it means "don't irritate me by acting out". May be related to any kind of behaviour and used in every situation where something is bugging you.
Carl-E:
Hah! That's great, you can even use it on inanimate objects!
VonKleist:
Also on people because "Jeck" is a noun too, meaning a crazy person or just someone who likes to have fun or a joker.
LTK:
I just remembered another great word, only it's in Dutch: Lanterfanten. It means slacking off, but the word implies a great deal more apathy and laziness than simply not doing any work.
