Thanks Kat, I did see this, but English is my first language so I don't know much Chinese. However, I do know that kampai (where pai is pronounced pie as in pizza) means Cheers -- an interesting note is that kanpai (with an 'n') is japanese for the same thing.

The only words I know in Arabic are gamal barghut (not sure about the sp., but pronounced bar-ghoot), which means camel flea. ^_^ go ahead and laugh, Brian!

Ni hao ma? (nee how mah) is chinese for how are you/you are well -- or you can just use ni hao (like hello) Tsai tsien (tsee-en) is goodbye (ts is pronounced like the end of 'nuts') Kamusta (u is like the u in uluru) is filipino for how are you.

arrrgh, don't get me started...i collect these things too!
