Mendokusai
It's not easy to learn foreign languages, but it is easy to remember bad words or slang or awkward expression, isn't it?
One of the Japanese words the big mouse learnt quickly while we stayed in Japan was 'Mendokusai'. It literally means "it's troublesome", but I think this word is very ambiguous because you can use it when something is too much of a hassle, or when you can't get very enthusiastic about something and don't want to do anything, or when it's difficult to handle someone who disagrees with you and annoys you. It's a sort of evasion, but a convenient word.
