Maoist Standard English

An internet meme in which any words containing a “k”, a hard ‘c’ sound, or an “s” are modified so that they now read as ‘KKK’ or as ‘SS’. KKK and SS, of course, obviously referencing the respective hate groups. Originating as a form of coded language often used by online maoists, it is now used by much of the broader population, especially on Twitter, to describe racism and far right associations within the thing that they are mentioning. Some also throw it into random sentences as a form of satire.

Maoist Standard English is often used like this:

“Amerikkka is on the decline.”

“KKKapitalism is evil.”

“RepubliKKKans want to make the handmaid’s tale real!!!”

“Fuck BoSSton KKKops!”

“The BoSSton CeltiKKKs”

english coffee

A euphemism used by office workers when going to the pub to grab a pint (typically beer). Whilst drinking at work may be frowned upon, grabbing coffee with your fellow colleagues is widely socially acceptable. Hence English Coffee.

"English" can also be commonly replaced with "Russian" or "Irish", though these are considered less subtle and may blow one's cover.

"I had a long day mate, Lets grab an English coffee this afternoon."

Hostel English

A variant of the English language used among young people and backpackers in Hostels across the world. Usually includes overuse of 'like', 'awesome' and 'amazing'.

"The burgers around the corner from the hostel are like so amazing."
"Dude, will you stop speaking in Hostel English."
