Since I finished school, I've got a keen interest in languages. My home town is quite touristy and I always like to say something to the customers in my shop in their own language for the craic.
Anyway, post the following in your (non-english, smartarses) language (or any language you know)
Hello:
Goodbye:
Please:
Thank you:
Your welcome:
Bump:
Cheers,

Norwegian version:

Ha det
Vær så snill/Vær så god
Takk
Velbekomme
Dunk/Slag
"Hei" would be more common than "hallo" (if it's not a phone call).
"Please" is not like the German "bitte", it only means "vær så snill", not "vær så god". "Vær så god" means "you are welcome".
"Velbekomme" is something like "your health!"
Edit: "You are welcome" can also be translated as "ingen årsak".
