Prosmises made promises kept mere hours after the inception I see non English language posts hitting front page it's beautiful stuff

I speak un poco line cook Spanish and I for one welcome our polyglotinous overlords, beinvinidos, atras, cuchillo

In the grand tradition of working with ESL coworkers in a kitchen setting, please offer me useful phrases in your language (mainly just dirty curse phrases) I can use in my daily life

You can end sentences with "lan" as an exclamation mark and instantly make it (more) aggressive! Works especially well on questions. But makes non-questions extra spicy.

E.g. ranked least aggressive to most:
"I don't know" < "How should I know?" < "How should I know lan?" < "I don't know lan!"

Other examples:

Stop getting on my nerves lan!
What's this lan?
What are you doing lan?
Fuck lan!

Or start of the sentence can work too e.g. both of these differ only in where the emphasis is:

Lan, why is the trash still here, didn't I just tell you to take it out? (You're more enraged about the trash still being there than the other person not listening)
Why is the trash still here, didn't I just tell you to take it out lan? (You're more enraged about them not listening than the trash)
