changism

1.The act of loving change for the sake of change, often to unreasonable extremes.

2.The process that occurs when a people are so desperate for something new that they elect someone who may very possibly make things worse than ever.

3.Constantly striving to be avante-garde, and hating anything that has been accepted for any duration of time.

<company> has fired their old CEO and replaced him with <name> who is in favor of changism.

Changism has sweeped <country> as the people have gotten sick of <old political system>.

<institution> has thrown out their old textbooks and have updated their curriculum with a changist agenda.

Changism is more a way of life than anything. It can happen in cities, counties, states, countries, businesses, churches, schools - just about anywhere.

charlish

This unique modern language cannot be learned; it is an acquired taste that requires one to subconsciously twist the english language....frequently. One can usually pick up charlish through talking to the most wonderful person on earth.

Charlish in action:
"She looks familiarish?"
"i'd like to how you have reasons for it?"

Chingrish

A joke, used primarily by Muricans while ordering sushi in Chinese restaurants, that may come off as plain racist instead of racist but funny since the Chinese have no problem whatsoever saying the word English. (Well, ok, yeah, it's going to be Een-guh-lee-shuh at first because of the short syllable thing, but the *L* is fine, dammit.)

It's the Japanese who can't say L to save their lives. (Literally. In World War II, American GIs would use "lolapalooza" as a shibboleth. Chinese allies could make the perimeter easily, "Nips" starting in with rara... got finished up with lead flying their way.) Since the Chinese and Japanese have some history, it makes the confusion especially unappreciated. (Mandarin can't say L at the *end* of a sound either ("towel" turns into either "tower" or "tawo"), but that's beside the point.)

Hey! Chang! Hit us up with some of that Chingrish! Ching chong ling long ting tong!

Tamade SB! My name is Chaahng and I haffa no probalem speak Engelish! You arways cannot teo Chinese from Japanese. I *hate* fucking 小日本!

Brooo... not cool. You shouldn't be so racist, man.

Chingrish

A language (Ranguage), used primarily (Primariry) by people who are learning English, who currently 'speak a Chinese'. This is very stereotypical and found in countries where English is the first (Primary) language. To speak fluent (FRUUUENT) in the Chingrish language (Ranguage) you have to change l's to r's and add emphasis on certain words. Now that you have mastered Chingrish you will be able to communicate with the Chinese community. GUNG HAI FAT CHOIIIIIIII

EXAMPLES OF CHINGRISH SPEAKERS:
JACKIE CHAN
OWNAGE PRANKS
TUONG LO KIM (ASIAN MAN FROM SOUTH PARK)
KIM JONG UN
KIM JON IL

EXAMPLE:

ASIAN MAN:
"HERRO WERCOME TO PF CHANG'S RESTAURANT, I AM PREASEDDDDDD TO MEAT YOU. WOULD YOU RIKE SOME WHITEEEE RICE WITH THATTTT APETISR PREASEEEEEEEE?"

RUSTOMERRRR:
"OH, I SEE YOU ARE ARSO FRUENT IN THE SPEAKING A CHINGRISH RANGUAGE. I AM PREASED TO MEAT YOU."

changelism

An obscure mashup of the words change and socialism created by Barney Frank; Implication that Barrack Obama's plan is what the economy needs; A state of change towards a marxist state;

I do think this is the time for a very important dose of changelism.
