    Remembered this thread, while seeing this list on listverse. 10 words you cannot translate into English.
    10: Esprit d’Escalier
    9: Hygge
    8: Kyoikumama
    7: Uitwaaien
    6: Qualunquismo
    5: Bakku-shan
    4: Tingo
    3: Zalatwic
    2: Ilunga

    and number one is

    1: Biritululo

    Biritululo, what a great word. Going to be my new favorite word I think.

    The whole list is here, with info on what each word means: 10 Words That Can’t Be Translated To English - Top 10 Lists | Listverse

    Note, I didn't copy paste the whole list here, because it also contain a picture to illustrate each word.

    Ignoranus (n.): A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
