balagan - chaos

if you know the origin, please tell us - are these three words Arabic?

"pancher" dates back to the British Mandate. a "puncture" is a flat tire. ergo, a frustrating mishap.

A fashla is like an embarassing situation or big mess-up. "a total fashla" would be like the military use of 'snafu'.
"Chavlaz" is an accrostic for 'chaval al hazman' but means the opposite!

balagan is russian,
балаган м. уст.
1. (деревянная постройка) booth; (для представления) show-booth
2. (зрелище) show; (перен.) разг. slang: farce, low farce, preposterous piece of buffoonery
chick-chok is also expression from russian.

There used to be an exit sign on the highway near the airport indicating the exit that says "Natbag" in English. I wonder how many tourists trying to find the airport missed the exit.

"Dugri", but how you translate it, I'm not sure!
"Hofshi" = not frum

I think "dosim" are charedi, and it's not a nice word, no. But where does the word come from? Is it a Yiddish-ized Hebrew of "da'at'?
