Ginoy – I see it used here, but it postdates my yeshiva days.

Punkt – precisely, exactly

maskim – agreed

Al Kol Ponim – from all appearances / any way you look at it / from all pespectives (this one was popular in my days, but I still have difficulty translating it well).

eppes a zach – something (a literal translation would be closer to “a little of a thing”)

mamesh – actually, actual, in actuality (e.g. “steak lavan is chazer mamesh”)

chaval – a waste (Ivrit, I believe – I never heard this word in yeshiva).

kol tov – all the best.
