I studied languages in school, years ago. I'm not up on the current vulgar slang, however. I know that there are books about "underground words," etc.
A professor I had was amazing - he spoke about 8 modern languages and a bunch of ancient tongues (Attic Greek, Sanskrit, etc.). He also spoke Arabic, Hebrew & he knew some ancient stuff like Moabite, Phoenician (not sure about hieroglyphics, however).
I'm not as fluent with French & German as I used to be.
