Some non-English words/phrases just make more "sense" in describing things to me: "cursing" in our home was "ludza boghski" (Slovak - "Lord God") or just "ludza" 'cause that's what my father grew up with.

From what Jack tells me, German has many exquisitely precise words (e.g. shaudenfreude (sp?).)
