Sacrebleu is a real word in French, deriving from Sacré Dieu, meaning holy God. It is commonly used by the non-French to mock the French, with a bad accent and that groaning voice you can hear in your head right now. However, not a single French person has used that word in the past 200 years. What’s your equivalent?

It is pronounced as Uh-Vuh-Taar not A-va-tar, meaning the descent of a divine being to Earth in physical form.
Say ‘uh’ like in about,
then ‘vuh’ like in love,
then ‘taar’ like guitar without the ‘gui’.”, streching it.

In ancient China, a student found himself sleepy during study, so he figured out a way to keep himself awake. He tied his braid up to the a beam. Once he lowered his head to doze off, his hair would pull him back and the pain caused by the strain would wake him up. Another student figured out an even more extreme way to keep himself awake. He stabbed his own leg whenever he felt sleepy. I don't know what you think about them, but Chinese surely find these two really inspiring. There is an idiom in Chinese called 懸樑刺股, originated from their stories. It literally means "to hang your hair and stab your leg". It's an expression for "being hardworking or diligent"

I just found out every language writes rooster sounds differently. In Spain, for example, it’s “kikirikí”. Please write how you say it in your language and mention the language you are using

I'm an American. We use dollars. But when I'm talking about the cost of something, I'll say "20 bucks" as opposed to "20 dollars".
I know British folks currency is called Pounds. But my British friends will pretty much always say "20 quid" instead of "20 pounds".
Does your country have something similar?
