NACO in Mexico is like. well. it can have many meanings. it can be like when someone dresses with a pink shirt, and yellow pants and green shoes. like it just doesn't go. he/she is a NACO (nah-co. I guess the closest translation can be chunty but then again. how do you explain that to someone in Canada or the UK? So naco is like. you don't have good taste in things? Like if you paint the walls of your house a mustard yellow, to some people that might be poor judgment on in-house decor, so that's naco. Or it can also be like you're not too educated in the way you speak, like saying I don't have no-one to love me or I aint got no food (double negatives and the sort. then you're a naco.

Awww I love this video Such a cool idea. In Arabic there is a weirdly translated saying that is pronounced as Dem-OO-ateel (when saying it about a man) or Dem-AH-ateel (when saying about it a woman. The LITERAL translation means his/her blood his heavy/thick but when people say it, they mean it in the context that the person they are talking about is annoying or self-centered or cocky. Basically something someone would say about someone they don't like.

I'm luxembourgish and our language is closely related to german. We have words for pretty much everything and when I first came to England I was so surprised how many words are lacking from the vocabulary as in the english language describes a lot of things and doesn't have a word for it

That was such a funny video Another untranslatable word you forgot is the Dutch word gezellig which is a word for a situation or feeling that is nice, fun, cozy, good, or having a good time. For instance meeting with your friends and family is gezellig or watching a football game is gezellig.

The Swedish word ''fika''. It's like having a coffe and preferably a cake or something small (or big) to eat with it. Mostly you have a fika with a friend or you can have it by yourself. But fika is so much more than just coffee and cake

Having living in San Sebastian, probably youve come across this word from Bilbao: sinsorgo. Its an adjective used to refer to someone who does silly things or say very bad puns or jokes.

jayus (spelled like j-aa-y-oo-s) in bahasa indonesia, it means a joke that is super cheesy and dry that it makes you laugh awkwardly. That's just one of the many slangs we have
