A term to describe Asiaphiles who make some half-assed attempt at learning a language so they can harass foreigners (typically Asians) with their poorly pronounced drivel in the hope of appearing cute or organizing some kind of 'language exchange'. Of course we all know that the intended outcome is sex.
Such behavior is typically displayed by Wapanese losers for whom Western women aren't good enough.
The term originates from the practice of looking up pickup lines in a foreign language phrasebook but failing miserably in the delivery.

Get the Phrasebook Romeo mug.An overworked figure of speech, such as, inter alia, "at the end of the day," or "it is what is," or "thinking outside the box," or "leverage our resources." Crutchphrases are a common refuge of speakers who have difficulty articulating ideas or concepts without reflexively using jargon and cliché. Often relied upon by powerpoint-user speakers who simply repeat what is already printed on the Powerpoint slide.
The use of a crutchphrase is often an open admission of an unwillingness or inability to think, let alone use language effectively.

"At the end of the day," the speaker droned, "we have to think out of the box if we are to successfully leverage our resources." Note the split infinitive.
"But," protested a listener, "you're not making any sense at all, you're just babbling a bunch of crutch phrases!"
"It is what it is," replied the speaker, retreating to the safe territory of a crutch phrase.

Get the Phrased mug.1) The act of brainstorming words and short phrases that could be used as names for creative works. Phrasestorming is far too fun for the good of its participants. Like all brainstorming, phrasestorming inevitably creates some byproducts of very low quality.
