Crypto-English

Etymology is obvious.
Noun:
A person who claims to be of Scottish, Irish, or Welsh descent but who fervently defends (shills for) England. Usually this is a result of them sharing English ancestry or being majority English. In other words, "Crypto-English". Compare "no true scotsman".
Singular is "Crypto-Englishman", plural is "Crypto-English", also "Crypto-Englishmen". "Crypto-Angloid" can also be used if you're feeling a tad bit ruder than usual.
"Charles is a tad bit of a Crypto-English twat."
"She walked into the Scottish Tory party meeting, only to be faced with a bunch of Crypto-Englishmen".

The English Slanguage

The English slanguage is composed of all the words or phrases that aren't really words, yet get used on a regular basis through either texting or talking. For example, "brah" or "legit" or "no cap" are part of slanguage.
Dude, they really need to make a dictionary for the English slanguage. Half the time I don't know what people are talking about.

All the cool kids talk in slanguage, no one uses proper grammar any more.

English Exit

The route by which a member or members of a small group will beeline to every person and their dogs that they've remotely interacted with at the end of any event, whilst making insincere commitments to keep in touch.

Often but not always there will be an unwilling party that is clearly distressed or eager to leave dragged along.

The route often includes going further from the exit, and a undefined loitering time outside of the event area or doorway.
Example Couple at a club:

Partner 1: I've had enough of this joint, wanna bounce? Irish Exit or English Exit?

Partner 2: Yeah me too, English Exit, don't want to be rude.
Partner 1: If we must
