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.
