“Itfadhel” may be my favorite Tunisian* Arabic word. You can use when letting someone go in front of you (“go ahead”), handing someone something (“take it”), and more. And I only heard it spoken politely. *Yes, I know similar words are used elsewhere, but I learned it as part of Tunisian Arabic.
Itfadhel. Spoken politely, of course.

Useful word-- I'll try to remember it -- but "habibi" is my long-time #1. Can be loving or threatening, depending on how you say it.
