dog latin

Dog latin - Dog Latin or cod Latin is a phrase or jargon that imitates Latin,often by "translating" English words (or those of other languages) into Latin by conjugating or declining them as if they were Latin words. Dog Latin is usually a humorous device mocking scholarly seriousness. It can also mean a poor-quality attempt at writing genuine Latin.

Example, apples and pears = stairs

Army & navy = gravey

Bubble & Squeek = Greek

Brown bread = dead

Trouble and strife = wife

Boat race = face

Baked bean = queen

Bottle & stopper = copper

On the floor = poor
Oily rag = fag ( cigarette)
Septic tank = yank

Unlike the similarly-named language game Pig Latin (a form of spoken code popular among young children), Dog Latin is more of a humorous device for invoking scholarly seriousness, especially when creatively used in nomenclature and naming convention
Dog Latin" is a term often used for phrases that sound like Latin, but are more or less garbled English phrases. Some examples: "Illegitimi non carborundum" = Don't let the bastards wear you down. "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" - When All Else Fails, Play Dead.

Pig latin example - Ixnay on the upidstay = to warn him to stop calling the target stupid because they are right behind them.

Pig Latin is a language game or argot in which words in English are altered, usually by adding a fabricated suffix or by moving the onset or initial consonant or consonant cluster of a word to the end of the word and adding a vocalic syllable to create such a suffix. For example, Wikipedia would become Ikipediaway.

Latin

If a word starts with a consonant and a vowel, put the first letter of the word at the end of the word and add "ay." ...If a word starts with two consonants move the two consonants to the end of the word and add "ay." ...If a word starts with a vowel add the word "way" at the end of the word.
