I swear in Russian fairly commonly, if that counts. I'm tyring to cut down on my English swearing, considering working as a teacher. :p

I'm using English, ain't I? Arse.
So read that in Stephen Fry's voice... *applauds*

Anyway, as an Englishman... I mostly use British slang (& harsh language). However, I've been known to colour my speech with Japanese, German and Chinese swear words, exclamations and insults respectively.

I say "eh" at the end of my sentences sometimes. I think it's listening to the LRRcast/my general obsession with Canada that did it. Seriously, those guys have freaking GLOW IN THE DARK DINOSAUR COINS and all we get is Millard Filmore!
My use of "eh" even prompted my English teacher to ask if I was from Canada. I'm not, however, but I could probably pass as a Canadian if I needed to.
hahaha we may not say "aboot" but we definitely use "eh" a lot XD

OT: I tend to say "aya" (dunno if I spelled that right) when I am minorly frustrated I dunno why.

I practice using fake accents as a hobby and I think the slang that is most fun for me is stuff from the U.K. There's just nothing quite like calling someone a "wanker" and watching the confused look on their face.

I sometimes use British slang like mate, bloody, bollocks, and wanker.

It's just fun to say.

I do a little but it's not much.

The word "bloody" has pretty much been added for a while. I use it all the time. That's English.

Then there's Japanese: I call my brother "Onii-chan" and my mother "Okaa-sama."

Pretty much it.

Nobody says "pants" because nobody wears pants, it's boxers. Bollocks is another one, most people just say balls, wank.. I tend to say fap since I consider it more.. acceptable, but wank is a good'n.

Myself, well:
Salut - Don't know, it's just nice to say as a greeting.
Oui, ja - Again, nice to say, variation instead of always just saying yes or yea.

Not really slang, but I do like cursing in foreign languages, often in odd combinations that make no sense. For example: Vaffanculo, du Arschlochich mulkku!

I haven't really picked much up from foreign nations, most of it's from an English friend of mine. No, most of mine comes from books, I've been known to use "by the Nine" "D'arvit" and other such things. "You bastard son of a caribou" is a favorite though

If Irish slang counts, I use 'eegit'. It just sounds so perfectly full of frustrated contempt.

I call people douches a lot, but I've never used it when trying to actually offend someone. It's just a fun word to say.

I use some British slang, though I can't think off-hand of any examples. I also say that things "rustle my jimmies," which I guess is '50s US slang. Thanks, internet, for that.

My spoken vernacular is growing steadily more memetic, if that counts as slang. I'm still using "xception," even. I'd also like start using hepcat slang from the '30s swing scene.

I intend to become fluent in German, and possibly a few other languages (Romanian, Russian, Japanese), so it wouldn't be so farfetched to believe I'll be using international slang every now and then someday.

I use the words "bloody" and "bleeding" in place of "fucking", it shows sufficient frustration without having to worry about censoring myself

I use the word "twat" sometimes. (Yahtzee's fault)

I've used the words "weeabu" and "otaku"

When people call me a fag in video games, I question why they refer to me as a bundle of sticks and emphasize that I do not share any common qualities with a bundle of sticks
I sometimes say "Nein" in place of "No", but that's not really slang

Does feth count as foreign slang?
Of course it does you gak head! :D

I pretty much use "Frak", "Feth" and "Oh for Throne's shake!" these days when something annoys me. The first two are really useful if you work in an office or something, it's just made up words.

I also seem to use the word "Bloody" sometimes without warning, it's bloody weird I know.

It's not really intentional, but I often say certain words in different languages, just because I forget the English word for it. For example, thinking I just said "thanks," I realise afterwards that I say "danke." I do this for pretty much any language I know any words in, which at the moment is mainly German, French, Spanish, Japanese and, more recently, Korean. What confuses me is that I can barely speak basic French and almost none of any other language.

As for slang, I often use what some would consider American slang, just because so much of British TV seems to be American, and some slang that me and my brother made up or got from the MBMBaM podcasts.
