English Is

My two favorite expressions in English...

"Good for you."  A positive statement, without getting cloying.  It's far superior to saying, "That's great." or even "Good job." (the latter never really exists as a spoken expression anyway, except in children's talk).

"Why is there so much crap on my desk?"  I have always thought that "crap" sounds like something tasty.  Like "crab."  And being the little Japanese person that I am, "crap" almost always reminds me of "clap," or something festive like that.
