Cool Tom!  My native language is English, but I happen to know a few
catchy Turkish phrases (I'll filter out the ones that are a bit too
risque' for this list ;)...

agIr isc,i (I = dotless i, c, = c cedilla)
  prostitute (lit. "heavy worker")

bu ayaklar koktu
  this is an old trick, no one's gonna fall for it (lit. "these feet
stink")

du:du:klemek
  literally, "to whistle", as a swear word, "to have sex with".  Do the
math.  ;)

go:z banyosu (o: = o umlaut)
  an attractive woman, lit. "eye-bath"

iki ucu boklu degnek
  an impossible situation, lit. "a cane with excrement on both ends"

ku:fe (u: = u umlaut)
  the buttocks, lit. "a tall wicker basket"

lanet olsun
  a general Turkish expletive meaning "dammit", "bloody hell" (I
remember this, my ex's father said this a lot when she grew up at home)

masanIn altIna bak
  up yours, lit. "look under the table", with the notion that the
speaker is giving the addressee the finger under a table (which in
Turkey and elsewhere is the thumb between the index and middle fingers
of a closed fist).

radyato:r bosaltmak
  to urinate, lit. "to empty the radiator"

explains things in laymen's terms too...)
