Fadihah. Arabic - but widely used in Israel. Technically means fatal or
misfortune (noun) , but widely used to mean "an extreme embarrassment."
Example: your teenage children when you offer to drop them off somewhere.
"Mum, fadihah. I'll walk."

Farshtunkinah, and I don't mean the bathroom where my father would have
