Englished

When you are spending all of your time with a guy who acts like he is into you. He pays for your meals and holds your hand and tells you how great you are and how pretty you are and sends you mixed messages all the time. But he doesn't want to go any further than that. He just wants a pretty girl to hang out with and make him feel better about himself. This guy either has 1. an overall fear of commitment 2. a FWB with an ugly chick that he can't bring in public 3. can't get over his ex. Possibly all three. Origins: Eric English - the master of the game

engrish

Inside joke by bilingual speakers of English and Japanese.
Intentionally bad parodies of English exploited for comic effect for an intended audience of bilingual Japanese / English speakers.

Examples:

The comedy skit "Tokyo Breakfast", a train wreck between Engrish and Ebonics which lampoons American and Japanese pop culture.

"Taksetawah", a Japanese-sounding name which is actually a tongue-in-cheek criticism -- in Engrish -- of the extravagant expense of the Tokyo Metropolitan building: "Tax Tower".
