n. Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design. Often,not only in Japan, but all around the world.
A sign in a Japanese hotel room may read "No Smorking" instead of "No Smoking".

There are many Japanese snacks with American names, such as "Dew-Dew Mix", "Pecker", and "Eat Me!".

n. The phenomenon of often hilarious gramatical catastrophes resulting from poor, usually over-literal translations of Japanese to English.

(Note: the term is a bit of a misnomer. Engrish doesn't have anything to do with pronunciation.)

Englishian 

One who prides him/herself of mastery of the English language in its purest form. The term is often prefixed with the origin, as in "he's an American Englishian" or "she was a widely published British Englishian".

Looking for more background info, history of the movement, etc.
"Englishians have repeatedly denounced the term 'monetize' as an English word."

The beginning of a verbal catastrophe. You will start off mocking the way Asians say English but then all your L's will become R's. This virus will spread to your friends, family, and perhaps even your dog.

Used enough times, this epidemic will consume your Engrish vocabulary.
"No speako Engrish! Haha that's hilarious.

Hey did you check your emair yet?
No no, it'd the spreading! MY ENGRISH-"
