if you know them in English words why don't you use the English instead?:P so people actually understand what you mean and it saves a lot of trouble, i don't use English slang on the forum or team speak because nobody would understand me lol.

So whenever you somehow say something looking like a word of these we need to go to this topic, find the word and then try to understand what it was meant to be together with the other english words in your failed sentance. Right, not very practical though ^^.
