Used most commonly by Canadian high school students, Franglais (French + Anglais, known also as Frenglish) is a mixture of the two languages in order to suit
a) the speaker's knowledge of the language
b) the speaker's laziness in regards to full translation
or c) the speaker's desire to piss off their French/English teacher.
Franglais has been known to be a diplomatic language between Quebec-the rest of Canada students, and students capable of speaking balanced Franglais are generally considered to be bilingual.

Get the fringlish mug.The "definition" is the state in which , when confronted about race expressing guilt anger or sadness, when you dont express it in the way the person talking about race wants. In translation this mean ANY responce that isint ok i understand or i will work or i agree is instantly labeled as white fragility there is no escape no arguing (because any argument will be used to further the douches narrative that its because your white fragility that you feel that way. No adult conversation no listening well except for the other person the other person requires you to listen but wont listen to you. Basically a trap made by assholes who cant debate you so they instantly call any difference in opinion or disagreement as being fragile. They will include in this how your inherent bias is the result of this even though theyre unable to realize that every single person on this planet has inheret biases they learn from their experiences they are to stupid to learn that those biases arent 1 out of hate but by experiences and 2 unable to be gotten rid of . Basically this term is meant to spring up gatcha moments because intolerence and gatchas is most likely the only thing the other person knows how to do. If you are caught in this trap either call them a self rightous douche or explain to them that even having these oh so totally progressing conversations of one sided battles of i want you to listen to me but wont listen to you and if you disagree your racist
