In Japanese I personally like:

"Zakennayo!" = ("**** you!") and "Bakudan unko" ("explosive s**t")

For Latin, I like the phrase "Velim caput tuum devellere deinde in confinum gulae cacare." = ("I'll rip off your head & take a dump in the hole.")

These are bilingual phrases that this one guy says on the only decent comedy we have in the Welsh language xD

"Na, no, never, byth!"

"Trist iawn, very sad"

Basically just what the English half of the phrases say, 'sept repeated in Welsh xD

Well, I would have to say my favorite word in Spanish would have to be bigote. It means mustache. blaugh

My favorite phrase, in most languages would be 'I don't know.' It's sort of my catch phrase. I used it similar to 'You know' or 'actually.'

No sé.
分かりません。
Ich weiß es nicht.

In French, I love jus d'orange (orange juice) and feuille (leaf)... oh man, it's hard to type how to pronounce the last one. Fie-yuh, but you have to say it quickly?

In Spanish... suave (soft) is nice. And estrella (star) and cielo (sky or heaven). And my favorite phrase is "Tu perro tiene pulgas. Repito, tu perro tiene pulgas." (Your dog has fleas. I repeat, your dog has fleas.) We used that in a Spanish skit. ;P

There are some great Japanese idioms.

Some funny ones:
嘗めてかかる (namete kakaru) = to take someone or something lightly (lit. to lick someone for something)
弱音を吐く (yowane wo haku) = to whine (lit. to vomit the sound of weakness) rofl

One of my favorites (though I don't actually know that many to begin with):
青息吐息 (aoiki toiki) = to be suffering (lit. sighing with blue breath)

randomnessensues
