Portuguese: raimunda! that means a ugly woman but with beautiful ass, or camarão" (shrimp), you cut the head and eat the rest ("eat" in Brazilian Portuguese can mean "f**k").
Espirit d'escalier Staircase inspiration, or a good witty saying come too late, as you're already retiring up the stairs. There is an american version of Esprit d'escalier. It is "albuquerque", or "left turn at albuquerque", or "I should have made that left turn at albuquerque". It refers to the thing you should have said or done, but didn't and now regret.

"Falasha" a nice thing to say to just about any mid-eastern person you hate. Means your mother squated in the gutter to recieve someones ejaculate and concieve you
Another good Korean word that the English language needs is Jusa: when you do something when you're drunk that you normally wouldn't do otherwise. This was explained to me by a Korean coworker before she suggested that we take a trip alone to another room while we were drunk off our asses on a work retreat.
In Portugal a "gambiarra" is a source of light used in construction work (looks loke a light-bulb in an extension-cord with a hook in the bulb end)

Swedish word "lagom", which means 'about just right' or 'not too much nor too little'. As a measurement it kicks ass, since it's rather vague but still explains exactly what it is, ergo just right for you.
Desenrascano (literally "to disentangle" yourself out of a bad situation), the Portuguese word for these last-minute solutions, is what is says about their culture. "gambiarra" (something like a "patch"), that means exactly the same, the solution for a situation applied without the proper knowledge or tools, mostly in a shabby but effective way. This is probably one of the most distinct characteristics the Portuguese inflicted upon us.

φθάνω (phthánō), generally accompanied by a complementary verb, approximately translates "I do [something] before someone else realises that I'm doing it" or "I get away with [doing something]." In a similar vein, the syntactically equivalent verb λανθάνω (lanthanō, etymon of the chemical element lanthanum), conveys the meaning of escaping the notice of others while doing something, and is often unsatisfactorily rendered by the adverb "secretly".
