For french: MERDE!
Portugaloise.
Fermé la douche.

For German:
Große Delphinverschwörung
Eir kopf ist schlect!

All grammar and word apparent mistakes are intentional, because they appeal to my sense of humour.

PEANUTS!

("HUUUUUUGE PEA-NUTS!")

Ask, and I might tell you. Otherwise, just know to look out for the moron cowering in fear of bald guys after shouting "HUGE PEANUTS" at them. That might be me.

First, "fermé la douche" means "close the shower."

Second, you missed a few:

Pamplemousse
Probablement
Lèche-vitrine
Vachement
And the letter "Y" - pronounced "ee-GREKHT"

conjugate. it almost sounds like a dirty word. . . .

It is, if you're paramecium

And ee-GRECK doesn't have a 't' at the end, at least how I was taught. I also submit ananas as a funny french word.

I realise, but it sounds similar to fremé ta bouche!"(Shut your mouth!) And people think i got it wrong and i then have the upper hand!

Poubelle made me laugh loads the first time i heard it, as i was thinking about a piece of shit with a bell on it to warn people it was coming...made me laugh in french for a whole one lesson that did.

It's actually spelled "fermez." Imperatives are conjugated as second person present. "Fermé" is a past participle.

My favorite English word is defenestrate. It just has a million uses.

German is a tie between "schnell" and "schnitzelbank".

French I guess would be "bagatelle".
