Slight drift: I'd always just assumed the German muscial genre of schlager (hits) came straight from the German. Hold the phone:

“The German word schlager (itself a calque of the English word hit) is also a loanword in some other languages (Hungarian, Russian, Hebrew, Romanian, for example), where it retained its meaning of a "(musical) hit". The style has been frequently represented at the Eurovision Song Contest and has been popular since it originated in 1956, although it is gradually being replaced by other pop music styles.” [wiki]


“Hit the lights” - douse the lights, though I've heard it for both on & off with the PowerPoint set.
