Nihonglish

A blend of the Japanese and English languages. Commonly spoken in neighborhoods or other societies where both Japanese and English speakers are roughly equally present, like Internateonal Schools in Japan.

Nihonglish is often not intentionally spoken, but instead is a natural occurrence when multiple Japanese-English bilinguals converse casually. Compare Spanglish, Hinglish, Swenglish, and Hawaiian Pidgin.

Nihongore

Gruesome scenes found in Asian horror films, usually featuring excessive blood and generally fucked up themes.

My niece isn't allowed to watch that "Audition" movie yet. There's too much Nihongore. Her dad will kill me.

nihongopniks

Non-asian people who know or learn Japanese only to be able to participate in the culture. Usually non-professional or hoping to get a job related to Japanese (translator, teacher, etc). See also: Weeaboo (but usually has more cultural and language knowledge than a typical one).

Don't come to the Languages Building, some nihongopniks are always using the tables to play Mahjong.
