We have a lot of French loan words because we had a """"French"""" king for a while.
I'd guess whore.

Smorgasbord is used for an all-you-can-eat buffet type deal in my experience. The area I grew up in had a lot of Scandinavian families though.

French:
Douche. As in going to take a douche.

Elijah Anderson
wesh akhi kesse tu dis?
Hunter Ross
All the words which starts with 'Ф' (F) letter
Dominic Mitchell
yeah but most are from the 19th century. I get the reason why words like "difficult" and "pork" are in use but all the words I listed came into use in the 19th century. Maybe cuisine or something? It's weird how there is no word for 'Bon Appetit" or "Bon Voyage" in English.
Joshua Rivera
English is probably majority borrowed words at this point. French, Latin, Greek, French again, various colonial/shitskin languages in Africa, India, and the Americas, and of course the smattering of east Asian words picked up over the last century. Speaking English with only non-borrowed words comes off very odd.
Parker Watson
"Viking" means smörgåsbord in Japanese
Anthony King
Eli Kelly
>smörgåsbord
what now
Nathan Thomas
The common, everyday vocabulary still largely comes from Old English. Much of the imported French vocabulary pertains to legalism and politics, while Latin and Greek pertains to science and medicine.
Jeremiah Wright
Also, we have hardly any vocabulary from Africa, India or the Americas. I can't even think of anything that falls into those categories besides "curry".
Eli Price
Evinronger.
John Gray
Indian ones I can think of right now (may have inaccuracies):
rice
serendipitous
brahmin/brahminical
margarita
Raj
coolie
diva
karma
nirvana
anaconda
pariah
guru
I know there's more
Chase Gutierrez
There are two words I can think of from Samoa. Tattoo and Taboo.
Nolan Ramirez
You forgot jabroni and roody poo.
Luis Thompson
Hakim(boss), Jahaj(ship), Durbar(palace) from Arabic/Farsi.
Jordan Jones
Lots of German and Arabic words stolen.
Also some from other old Semitic languages or just from English.
Eli Campbell
Déja-vu > Deja vu
Cliché > Clișeu
And other French words which we stole and butchered.
Carson Stewart
>enjoy your meal
>enjoy your trip
Anthony Nguyen
loads of english ones
interestingly enough, a fair amount of fake english words
jogging = running
brushing = blow-dry
relooking = make-over
etc
Gabriel Allen
>Hardmode
It's all German. They removed a lot from standard Slovene but dialects are packed with them. You basically can't have a conversation without using several loanwords and I could make a whole thread of such words
Gavin Young
bistro, stolen from french who stole it from russian
