ESL speak 

The change in speech that happens (sometimes unconsciously) when an EFL speaker is talking to an ESL speaker. The EFL speaks louder & slower, uses clearer syllables and sometimes adopts the accent of their ESL audience.

Useful when ordering Chinese or Indian takeaway over the phone so it is more easily understood.

Has no racist motivations at all but is simply a practical way to assist communication.
EFL: "I have one beef-a-black-been, laaj spesha frai raice, tree dim sim."

ESL: "Ok, be ten fitteen minnas. Ba Bai."

Friend-of-EFL: "Dude, that was some nice ESL speak."

ESL: "Tayn-you. Mehbe I shudda orda sam sprin roos a well."

Friend-of-ESL: "OK you can stop now you friggin racist."

ESL Teaching 

A "job" that many grifters, low-lifes, simpletons and garden variety retards do while living abroad as an expat. Many, if not all, of those that are currently teaching ESL have failed astronomically in their home country. This includes financially owning themselves by getting one of the many useless degrees offered by today's university. An incompetence to use any job-hunting website. It also includes burning a variety of bridges with all of their friends, associates and family members. And finally, it includes a general sense of running from all responsibility due to a severe case of arrested development.

Ironically, many of their students, ESL Speakers, are trying to have a better life, work hard and take life head on.
Blue-haired coffee shop barista: I double majored in English Creative Writing with an emphasis on poetry, and general Philosophy, and I've had it. I've been working here for 6 long years. Too long, too long. Next week, I'm moving for an ESL Teaching job abroad for $800/month. It's GOOD money, and allows me to save each month to pay off my $120,000 of student debt.

Engineer, former friend: That's great.

Eslem is really nice and cares about others a lot, she is sensitive and easy to hurt so you have to be careful. Others see her as really cute, lovely, caring and innocent. There is something about her which everyone loves and no one wants to be the one to hurt her or to see her getting hurt. She likes music or just every creative thing, her character makes people wonder where she has been their whole life. If you ever meet an Eslem be happy because she is the "once in a lifetime kind of person", really rare and probably your greatest friend, fan or listener.
,,Did you see Eslem giving the homeless something to eat?"
,,Yes, she is so nice!"
Such a lovely person!

Esli is a very kind girl! She mostly has long dark hair, and pretty eyes. She is shy at first, but once you get to know her, she will pour out all her positivity on you. She is very attractive, and has a very lovely voice. She is an expert at music, and is very energetic. At first, she may seem rude, but when you become her friend and get to know her, she will have your back at all times. She is very beautiful, has the perfect body, but she doesn’t see it. She can get very emotional, which is why she needs a best friend by her side. Her crushes are complicated. If someone messes with her or her friend, she gets triggered, and kindly asks them to stop. If they don’t take that opportunity you can seriously get injured. Don’t mess with an Esli, because if you do, it’s game over. She will kick your ass, and never forgive you.
Esli is the best! She has my back, and she’s perfect whatsoever!
