English term or phrase: Have fun!

For private matters:-)

I need to create some "in" bandanas-head scarfs for my ski bar, opening next winter. Who knows a coloquial and young expression. Should be short and fresh. All languages needed: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Arabian, Chinese, Russian, etc.

Thanks a lot for any kind of hints!

Dutch translation:Biertje?

Explanation:
Ski bar, ski hut, makes me think of "heee biertje?" immediately. Well it's short and sort of fresh....

This was a big hit in the Netherlands.

have fun! maak fun!

Explanation:
You could also use 'vet fun!', but that could be oldspeak by next winter. Another possibility is 'heb fun!', a warped literal translation of the kind often used in the dubbed American cartoons Dutch youngsters watch on TV.

BTW, 'maak fun' doesn't mean 'make fun of' and 'plezier' is for old farts.

not for points: I would just put "FUN!!!", considering it has to sound young and short
