babelfish

The best translator possible indeed. Take a look as I translate the expression "fuck you" back and forth from English to French.

"Fuck you"
English to French
"Va te faire foutre" (Fair enough. It's right.)
French to English
"Get stuffed" (I'm sorry?)
English to French
Obtenez bourré (The previous was meant as in "Go get yourself stuffed." This... thing here says something in the lines of: "Receive stuffed," which doesn't really make sense.)
French to English
Obtain stuffed

There you are. Babelfish tells you that another way of telling someone to go fuck him/herself is "obtain stuffed."

babelfishit 

Literally means "look it up on Babelfish.com", a website that translates text from one language to another. Has insulting connatations, stemming from the inclusion of the term " fish shit " in the word.

Mary: I want to spend the rest of my life with you, mi amor.

Dave: Huh? What'd you call me?

Mary: ( annoyed ) Babelfishit!!

Babelfishing 

'Babelfishing' or 'to Babelfish.'

It's something that people on the web (usually with a big mouth and a fake attitude) do when they want to look smart.

When something is said in a different language, they translate it with Altavista Babelfish and pretend to be smart and come with the translation like... Five minutes later.

Pissed off person: OMG this makes me so angry, I'll just say this in french.. VOTRE MÈRE EST UNE PUTAIN!

<5 minutes later>

Annoying and pretend to be smart person (pretended to be away that five minutes): My mother is no whore! Yours is!

Pissed off person: You STUPID n00b you're just Babelfishing!!

babelfish

To translate a document badly, i.e., translate the individual words in the document with no sense of the overall meaning.

I can't make sense of these instructions at all. They must have just babelfished them from the original Japanese.

babelphishing 

Phishing scams that contains numerous grammatical errors, as if they were run through an automated translation service (such as Babelfish or Google Translate).

Adam: "It says I violated their Terms of Service."
Bob: "Yeah, but look at all the grammar mistakes. Some scammer is just babelphishing for your account info."
