I've heard from some Americans that the way we say "gone missing" is a strange way to say that something is lost.

Eg, My car keys have gone missing.


Also, in Quebec there's some swear terms eg tabernac. (i'm not sure what it means, other than it invokes some religious overtones) which tend to be empasized by adding "fuckin" eg:

taber-fuckin-nac!

I always get a kick out of that one.
