The speaking pattern that the Wapanese use to sound
knowledgeable about the Japanese language. In Japanglish,
Japanese words are usually thrown into English sentences,
most commonly being words such as "kawaii", "otaku", and
"baka", which are often spelled incorrectly. Sometimes, a
Wapanese may attempt to create a Japanese sentence,
which is also usually spelled and punctuated wrong, most
likely due to the effects of trying to half-heartedly learn
Japanese by watching anime. Japanglish is often exceedingly
irritating to the non-Wapanese, aka, those who are not socially incapable.

Get the Japanglish mug.This is an Indian - South African word for describing a mini party, this likely happens when you go out one night and land up partying it up unexpectedly. Must commonly known as it's abbreviation "CJ".
Example 1:
Dude 1: "Eeey men, what kind? You keen for a CJ?"
Dude 2: "What do you mean man?"
Dude 1: "Lets head to the strip club for a drink or 2."
Example 2:
"Wow that was a massive catan jalang last night. We landed up drinking a whole 4 pack of beers then proceeded to chug them down with shots of jaagermeister."

Get the Catan Jalang mug.Many thing including most of what is said above. A phenomenon unknown to the normal population and certainly unknown to those living in Japan, japanese or not. A very odd phenomenon since for some reason this doesn't happen with other languages such as Korean, Chinese, Italian etc..
Never have I heard or read someone saying, you should give me a lai hai, or anyon! im from korea! unless it was a joke between me and my international friends i met in japan and lived with for a year.
Seems pointless, or you speak a language or you don't. Most japanese people would be extremely confused at the use of this bastardization of the language, although they themselves bastardize english. It is a case of ignorance.
As students in Japan we found it to be very pointless and weird to start talking in Japanese to each other since everyone knew enough english to comunicate. Heck, not even the japanese want to speak japanese to foreigners, or anything for that matter. I showed one of my Japanese friends this kind of "slang" and they became very irritated at the misuse of their language.
Warning to all who try to use japanese... if you don't speak it perfectly, don't bother. I've spent 5 years, one of those in japan studying japanese and believe me... if you went to japan and actually interacted or tried to interact and realized how different it is from the way it is portrayed to you via cartoons and movies, you would stop speaking this Japanenglish stuff.

Unacceptable Japanglish sentence: huuun? what do mean I'm "chibi-er" than that character in Robotech?
Acceptabel Japanese sentence: naze minna wa kono japanenrishu wo tsukau nano? daikirai dakara... yamero!

Get the japanglish mug.Japanglish is quasi-language almost exclusively used by the most clueless of the wapanese, consisting of both English and Japanese words being used in the sentence. This is usually as a result of the said wapanese person trying very hard to be as Japanese as possible by speaking the language, but since s/he only knows very basic vocabulary and sentence structure, english words are also used. English sentence structure dominates despite this. It is uncommon to see japanese words other than "watashi", "kimi", "neko", "baka", "kawaii", and a few other such fandom-oriented words actually used. Pronounciation of these words may range from being absolutely wrong in a clueless, to absolutely wrong though still conceited, to more accurate than common Japanese speech and pretentious as possible about it. Commonly used by self-proclaimed "otaku" as well. Often accompanied by "anime smileys" such as ^_^ and XD.
Japanglish sometimes also refers to a pseudo-language used in learning Japanese; this is rare in internet culture.

"OMG! Neko-san is sooooo baka XD"
