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.

I had to look it up and holy shit it's real.

Funnier yet, people and doctors just call it "die pille."

I only now realized why that's funny to english speakers. It just reads normal to german speakers but I guess for english speakers it would be something like "Kill Pill"
