An expression of sympathy for bad luck or misfortune, used casually among friends to acknowledge when something unfortunate happens.

A British verbal punctuation mark that turns any statement into a request for agreement or simply marks where your thought ends.

A sharp insult questioning someone's intelligence — tone determines whether it's genuine attack or playful teasing among those close enough to blur that line.

Amsterdam street slang for police that signals local knowledge—informal vocabulary born from centuries of Hebrew influence on Dutch urban language.
