Re:korean text slang
Here's some text slang I learned from various videos:
ㄱㅅ = 감사합니다/감사해요 = thank you/thanks
ㅅㄱ = 수고하세요 = keep up the good work/good work
ㅋㅋ = LOL/laughing
ㄴㄴ = 노노 = no/no-no
응 = 네 = yes/okay
Reminder: these are text slang and expressions, so don't use these with your boss/employer.
Hope this helped anyone reading! :)

Re: Expression for dipping bread in sauce
Hello Kristen,
the Sicilian verb in question is most likely “mogghiari”, which means “soften”. Similar cognates in other languages include Spanish “mojar” and Romanian “a moia”, both of which can also mean “dip”; I don’t know if “mogghiari” also has the “dip” meaning.
Your grandfather’s use of it is most likely “Mogghia! Mogghia!”, in the imperative — “Soften! Soften!” I’m not familiar with Sicilian dialects, but the spelling “-ggh-” usually indicates that the first G would be pronounced as an English (hard) G. However, Sicilian orthography is not fixed, so perhaps what your grandfather was pronouncing was “Moghia! Moghia!”, where the “-gh-” is a phonetic [ɟ], which isn’t quite the same sound as an English Y.

Expression for dipping bread in sauce
My Sicilian grandfather used an expression whenever he dipped bread into sauce. He would say "moya moya." Can anyone tell me the correct spelling and meaning of this?

How do I properly say two different Icelandic phrases/sayings?
A long time ago I used to live in Iceland as a guest worker in both Vestmannajar and Reykjavik in the fishing industry. There were two phrases I liked quite a lot that I wish now I had learned how to properly say them in Icelandic.
The first basically translated to something like; "it's best to get the ugly things done first". (when we would start a difficult job that involved multiple things--start with the most unsavory thing first)
The next was when describing corruption in a organization; it translated to "a fish rots from the head down".
If there is any link to additional sayings like those above, I would really love to see those as well. Thanks in advance to any Icelander who has a chance to think about this.
Cheers.
