basically we just grunted and yelled , but we were certainwe made a new language. hehehehhe
Hehe yeah I can imagine that.
German actually does have a lot in common with grunting and yelling, so you were still far from creating anything new
Where is my brother mezzie?
Profound statement. I was just thinking of our secret language. Okay, maybe it's not so much a language as it is a lifestyle, involving a conscious effort to be as obscure as possible while throwing in puns at every opportunity.
Yes, I've noticed how Americans (or Canadians as it may be) sometimes choose to be obscure by using this odd language that has no proper vowels and lots of vocabulary borrowed from French and German using this undescribable encryption method...
What was it called again... Engrish?
Germish just doesn't sound right.
I'm curious how your Germish language looks like.
Care to write down some phrases?
"I shall present my case before the staff o' lo caucus."
i thought hebrew was the odd language that had no proper vowels... its even backwards
i know i studied it :wink:

I don't get it...guss I need to hear that to understand what you're talking about.
Sorry about that....staphylococcus is a common bacteria. Then I inserted some puns, as in staff o' (=of) lo (old English for "the", or "behold") and "caucus" in the legal sense of a governmental hearing. So..."Germish" as in the staph reference, with the English puns. I'm so misunderstood....but it's not your fault. Thankfully, this is a secret language thread.
I remember a friend's attempt to revise for all three of her language exams by creating 'espanglaistch.' It, unfortunately, never worked for her, but the idea was nonetheless intriguing.
