Cara de pau in moroccan is translated as mkazder and it's used exactly in the same circumstances. it doesn't exist in arabic but it just came to my mind when you talked about it. intetesting words you got here. slang is very important, and sometimes it may even give locals the impression that you speak the language fluently, so you can fool locals with some slang
