For example, can you beat 'look-look house blong all' as the phrase that means 'museum'?

Just thought of another English word that gets a lot of play in Hawaii in various senses -- plenty. It is used to mean "very" as well as "many." Example: "I live in plenty big house. Has plenty windows, too, but gotta clean 'um."
