| 1. | immigrenglish | ||
|
A portmanteau of the words "immigrant" and "english" usually used when referring to the comical attempts made by non-native english speakers trying to pronounce certain words phonetically. "Are they burning effigies?" (Effigies being pronounced, "eff-EEE-geez")
"What are integers again?" (Integer being pronounced, "int-TEG-urs" as in "good" rather than the proper "gel") Response: "There's some more of your immigrenglish." |
