Default B & M, English/Foreign language poker translator thread

As all of us who play B&M in the U.S. know, poker is a true melting-pot with a wildly diverse population of players. Occasionally, these players slip into speaking their native tongues and I've always wanted to understand at least a little bit of what they're saying and I'm certain that I can get some tips on here. I'm looking to learn a few phrases in Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic and Persian primarily although any language would be appreciated.

Since I know a bit of Spanish I'll offer this:

'Pinche Rio!': Peen-Chay Ree-0.

English translation: [censored] River!

Next?

I have often pointed out that it is remarkable how many people manage to make 'Nice Hand' sound so much like '[censored] You!' but I'm hoping for more than this people! Come on! A few darn phrases, please! It's either that or I've got to buy those Rosetta Stone lessons.

I feel for you, Photoc. There are few things worse than a joke you have to explain.

And I feel bad for me. I hate starting threads that turn out to be complete duds especially when I thought they'd do great. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Sixty seven, three dollars ninety five cents;

An asian phrase for here's your fried rice.

I hear this when I order my food at the Taj in AC all the time. That's what I love about that room. You can order in Chinese, Pizza, Sandwiches...
