The French "dommage," lit. "damage," is heard most often in that language, and with some frequency in English, in the expressions c'est dommage and quel dommage. From the Urban Dictionary:
c'est dommage
Said in a kind way it means:
Ex. Megan makes terrible hot chocolate, c'est dommage.
Said in an indifferent way it means:
it's tough, it doesn't matter, I could care less
Ex. If you don't like my hot chocolate, c'est dommage.
Quel dommage
An intentionally ironic statement meaning "What a Pity" or "What a Shame".
Ex. You hate being around smokers and your best friend goes in to a store to buy another pack but they are out of his brand; you can say: "Quel Dommage!"
