The world is an interesting place

Just check out this article on the weird and wonderful vocabulary of different languages. I do wonder if some of them aren't made up, so if you can independently verify the following, shoot me an email saying so:

GRILAGEM Brazilian Portuguese
The practice of putting a live cricket into a box of newly faked documents, until the insect's excrement makes the paper look convincingly old.

REJAM Malay
To execute by pressing into mud.

LATAH Indonesian
Uncontrollable habit of saying embarrassing things.

MAHJ Persian
Looking beautiful after having a disease.

Finally, and somehow pertinent to this post, there is:

FUCHA Portuguese

To use company time and resources for one's own purposes.

As the article points out, and as most people who have linked to it mention, it's interesting to see cultural fascinations and insights that pop out from the number of words that show up for a certain topic, but what I find weird is that these concepts really exist at all, let alone the need to condense them into a single word. I'm trying to think of American equivalents, but my cultural blinders make that bit of self-examination difficult.
