Language, gentlemen, please!

As it happens, this morning, I learned how to say "Plenty of cheese" in Gaelic. This joins a number of other odd phrases that I know in languages I don't speak. I mean, you learn things like 'yes', 'no', 'thank you', 'where's the bathroom', 'I don't speak your language', and 'I'd like a beer' as a matter of course, even if you never intend upon learning anything else in that language. But I, in my apparent quest for weird shit, have also learned to say things like:

• "Please stand clear of the doors" in Spanish
  
• "hedgehog" in Russian (thanks to kittenpants
  
• "My dear boy" in Welsh
  
• "Sheep with teeth" in Latin (thank you, Drix)
  
• "We wander around at night and are consumed by flames" in German (Thank you, Einsturzende Neubauten [who ought to have umlauts]
  

and other things of that nature.

I'm not counting anything odd I can say in French, since I'm fairly literate in French, and so odd phrases are more likely.

So then, what stupid things can you say in foreign languages you're not fluent in? Bonus points if the weird thing is the *only thing* you can say in that language. No points for "I can eat glass, it does not hurt me".

Well, I don't know how to spell any of these so I will simply tell you in english what I know how to say and if you ever care to learn how to say them let me know....

I know two phrases in German: I'm a jelly donut and Flying shit

One phrase in French, which I'm sure everybody knows: Will you sleep with me tonight?

I also know how to say I am a jelly donut and flying shit in German. Also, flying baby shit.
All of which are terribly useful phrases.
