Get the Japanglish mug.Generally, Japanese words liberally thrown into English speech, generally the doing of anime fans who like to show off what they know about this language.
Not as recent as you think, I may add - Judo masters in the West have been known to do it for generations.
Japanese kids are crazy on Western culture and its language, so don't be too shocked by Western kids doing the same thing.
Obviously since I defend it I've used it a few times myself, but so many people hate it I've learned not to. It's the official language of the Wapanese people.

Get the Japanglish mug.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.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.
