Foreign words

I watched Jaywalking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The topic was foreign words. Jay asked some of the people about the common foreign words used by Americans. The words were:
1. SOUP DU JOUR
2. MANO O MANO
3. COUP DETAT
4. MAZEL TOV
5. OY VEY
6. MAGNA CUM LAUDE
7. SHITAKE
8. PAISAN
9. MENAGE A TROIS

I could answer only one of them (MAGNA CUM LAUDE)
Would anyone like trying the above phrases without any reference?
