A new 'frankenlanguage' resulting from globalization and the ubiquitous Net. It's called Globlish (Global English) and is spoken by virtually every nation in the world, consisting normally of an amalgamic mix of heteroglossia or 'macaronic' phrases of both, the original country's language and standard English in what's described as 'English-Lite'.

The funny pidgin English spoken by F.O.B.s (Fresh out of the boat people), is a clanguage and is called sarcastically 'Foblish'!
by hammer---;, hytham April 20, 2007
Get the clanguagemug. Line-up:
Guitar/Baruch Ben Itzach
Bass/Marc Lazare
Drums/Issar Tennenbaum
Rhthym+Vocs./Eli Lulai* (*no longer plays with the band).
Ground: Tel Aviv, Israel.
Scope:
The most adventurous alterna-band to come from Israel; RockFour started with teeth: their early albums attest a sound that has a dip at the noncommercial side of the r'n'r pool. With soaring Ric semi-acoustic guitars, melisma-intesive bass-drum synchronization that draws from the Paisley Underground sound of mid-60s' bands like The Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Chocolate Watch Band, Moby Grape & Hebrew proggers like The Churchill's, Arik Einstein & Shalom Chanouch to name but a few...RockFour has a radar for authenticity and originality at the same time.
Their music poured balm over the waters of the post-rock scene in Israel that witnessed such great same-taste bands like Jango; being in the tank with them to create music that doesn't speak much as shout from rooftops! The testosterone that was lacking for nearly two decades was brought back to rock music in the mid-90s, injected into the scrotum by the eponymous Hebrew-only album Ha'Iesh Ma'Ra'ait Ha'Kol (The Man Who Saw Everything): 14 tracks of sheer power, throbbing bassline, intelligent lyrics dispersed evenly over near-apocalyptic grooves. You can listen to this album, over and over till you go blue in the logo! It has the same, insane psychedelic mojo of The Pink Floyd's first two albums. A race apart, The Man Who Saw Everything is the best example of pure neo-psychedelia on the 90s/00s beat. (It is no piggie that I'm listening to that album right friggin' now! There're no words to describe it: it's all-that-and-more). Point.
But, alas...that didn't make you anywhere near the Promised Land! The band spilled its first domino when it decided abruptly to switch languages into English, with Eli Lulai's (now disbanded), Lennonesque fraternity-answer voice to the early repertoire. They hit it in 2K with 'Supermarket','One Fantastic Day' a year after and finally 'Nationwide' in 2004 and the antenna went off.
I don't want to sound forward, but if wording survives, the upcoming album is going to be the coprankest of the trio.
We can only wait and watch.

RockFour in American press:
-The New York Times:
"Not afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves, the band plays music that recalls early Pink Floyd, glam-era David Bowie and the Beatles, often times all within one song. It's a combination of psychedelic rock and melodic pop that sounds both classic and fresh."
-The Daily News:
"Its sound - warm harmonies and soaring, Roger McGuinn-like 12-string guitar mixed with elements of psychadelic and classic rock..."
-The Los Angeles Times:
"Drawing on the '60s folk-psychedelia of the Byrds (prominently in guitarist Baruch Ben- Izhak's Rickenbacker 12-string licks), the Beatles (a powerful closing version of the Fab Four's "Rain") and the Beach Boys (several echoes of the wistful "Pet Sounds")."

Get the perimenopausemug. Poor-countries' tourism! Yes... double-flubble, fatfuck-ish Ugly American and European tourons take what has been called 'reality tours' in war-ravaged, piss-poor Third-World countries like Iraq, India, South Africa and Brazil to gawp at 'warscapes', shantytowns and poor people going about their everyday's measley lives!
See Counter Tourism, too.
See Counter Tourism, too.
'Poorism' and 'poorists' sound like some pro-poor, humanist philosophies made to benefit the poor and the underprivileged, but in reality it's you, richass Westerners getting your rocks off watching poor people live. Try to live with your own shitucopic lives you touronic fat filthy-rich fucks!

Get the poorismmug. A funny contraption that appeared in the mid-90s for the fat... did I just call you by the F-word? Sod me! You are 'overnormal', 'generously cut', 'horizontally-challenged', 'weight-challenged' and other non-sizist words that you'd use to bluff your way into my world you 'non-little' fatfuck! Any way, it's an electronic belt (like the old 'Chastity one, geddit?)... worn on the midriff and peeps when it stretches beyond a certain limit to curb weight-gain and control/ reduce it.
Fatist puns aside, I think that 'fat' is the worst insult you can call somebody with!

Overweight people now are pulling the bull with fat-flashing 'Fat Pride' bozotic marches, Net 'pornhography' or forumese like BHM (big handsome male) and BBW (big beautiful women a.k.a. 'women of size', 'obeausiful'!)! Get a Vastity Belt, y'all and stop opening the damn fridge's door ya lil' fps!

Get the vino verdemug. Water shortages in the third-world caused alarming concerns in the last ten years and the WWC (World Water Council) predicts that there'll be 1.5 bil. without access to clean drinking water by the year 2015.
The hook is, this multi-stakeholder world authority is helping these water-poor 3rd World countries to build 'water-banking' structures (water dams, reservoirs...), to collect rain water in the short-timed winters, to be used later for drinking and sanitory purposes.
Water is now the 'blue' gold!

Water is now the 'blue' gold!
Blue revolution is a take on the 60s' 'green revolution'. The difference between the two revolutions is that, this new one is going to be the cause for WWIII as politicians expect world-wide 'water wars' to take place when there'll not be one drop of water left in this world. Wait and see, it's happening faster than what you might think!
