along the same lines, I travel to the Philippines often, and in their language (Tagalog), they have the following word:

"mahal"

it has two meanings:
1) expensive
2) sweetheart

coincidence?

"mahal mahal" = expensive sweetheart. basically a high-maintenance girlfriend; somebody who expects a lot of money to be spent on her. generally once I figure that out, they're out.
