Turning Japanese

A friend asked me, with all the Japanese anime I watch, have I ever actually picked up any Japanese?

My answer, totally tongue-in-cheek, was "Hai!"

A politely sarcastic laugh, then "No, really, do you know any, like, totally cool Japanese phrases?"

Totally deadpan, I replied, "Urusai, baka yaro. Korosu-zo. Nametonka?"

They were impressed.
I was ready to laugh.
I refused to translate.
Yes, it means what you probably think it means.
