Inshallah runs a close second!
To complete the Arabic trifecta:
"mafeesh", which means it's broken or there's none left.
A conversation usually runs like this:
"Mafeesh electricity."
"Ma'alesh. When will it be back?"
"In three hours, insh'allah."
One other thing on this subject: there are those who say that insh'allah means the same thing as maņana except without the urgency.
