It's the same with German. I had a German friend and every time I wanted to learn and use a cool new German word with him, it was the same word in English.

Well we also have plenty of german only anglicisms. Like "handy" for phone

Please tell me there is some phrasing for calling someone that directly translates to "give them a handy"

As a german speaker, sadly no but I understand how that would be hilarious.
