Chinglish

Broken English produced by people whose mother tongue is Chinese, that results from one or more of the following:
- translating Chinese sentences on a word-by-word basis, instead of conveying the intended meaning (e.g. translating "wǒ hěn xǐhuan" as "I very like" instead of "I like it a lot")
- using faulty translation software and not bothering to check whether the translation is correct (e.g. translating "sàn gānguǒ" as "Spread to fuck the fruit" instead of "loose dried fruits"
- using obscure or slang words instead of the more common synonym (e.g. translating "Guānmén" as "steek" instead of "close", or translating "Shǒuzhǐ" as "bumf" instead of "toilet paper")
- falling victim of absurd translations provided as jokes (e.g. translating "tāotiè" as "exterminate capitalism" instead of "tantalizing")

Get rid of those signs! You can't expect people to read "To take notice of safe: The slippery are very crafty" and not to laugh at us!
(that was probably what Chen Lin said, when he decided that Chinglish signs in Beijing needed to be replaced)

Chinkish

When an Asian person conducts business in a super greedy manner.

I went to Chinatown and wanted to exchange my dollar for 4 quarters. The clerk behind the counter was being hella "Chinkish" and said "only 1 quarter exchange per custama"...

chinglish

Speaking both English and Chinese in one's sentences.

Example of a sentence in Chinglish:
"At K-mart, I buy -hen duo- clothes."

Notes:
"hen duo" means very many in Chinese. Also note the grammar error.

Chinglish

English with Chinese grammar mixed together during speaking a sentence. Tho the term is sometimes used with a variation of other Asian spoken languages.
Although the term is widely expressed nowadays, it is still legally considered Slang as, unlike its neighbor term "Spanglish" is not featured in an official dictionary.

My Actual Chinese GF Speaks Chinglish around her family.

Changlish

An excuse for a failure to grasp the basics of English.

To string random thoughts together and insinuate that they actually mean something.

When nobody understands you, just point out that your too intellectual for the group therefore they cannot comprehend.

A typical Changlish explanation:

We have black guy running for president and HE'S MIT the one with a pregro 17 yr old daughter? I'm confused...

Man a genius is this guy McCain! No only is he trying to win over the chick voters with the milf Palin but the minority voters ad well.

"oh my god she gots a baby daddy?? I gots a baby daddy!!".

My vote you have sir. McCain for President.

(complete silence for 10 minutes)


I guess I'm wasting my educated humor on this crowd. China #1. WOOOO!!!
