Words in foreign languages that most English speakers know. Not counting those now in English dictionaries Adios Babushka Capisce Derrière Errata Frou-frou Gesundheit Hola Iditarod Jai alai Kitsch Litro Mea culpa Nada We’re ignoring the “Not counting those now in English dictionaries” part. The only word(including mine) not Americanized and found in Merriam-Webster Online is _Litro_. And I think _litro_ fails the “most English speakers know” part - I never heard of it, and online definitions are split between stoner slang for a lighter and the Spanish word for _liter_. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-atoz-game-part-1/846920.md?page=122) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-atoz-game-part-1/846920.md?page=124)
