Get the japes 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 japper mug.1. One who is fucking Japan's culture in the ass by overusage of terms such as "kawaii," excessive worshipping of Dragon Ball Z/GT, and honest shock when he/she discovers that not all Japanese people are ga-ga over anime.

Get the Japanese Combat Boots mug.An American name, Japheth usually means a strange but pretty cool dude that is like a girl, but in a good way, has a very short temper as well, and gets along with Mexicans/Blacks, but can't stand racist whites, Canadians, Germans, or pretty much any other race. Will be the future white Hitler, and responsible for killing Donald Trump. Lots of girls like him, especially Mexicans.
Japheth just stole Johnny's girl! Daaaaayyyyyynmmmm!!
I know right? He also beat Johnny up and almost killed him!!
Dude he is gonna die if he keeps doing this mothertrucking crap, but us Mexican boys will have his back.
Yeah! For real!!
