An excuse for a failure to grasp the basics of English.

To string random thoughts together and insinuate that they actually mean something.

When nobody understands you, just point out that your too intellectual for the group therefore they cannot comprehend.
A typical Changlish explanation:

We have black guy running for president and HE'S MIT the one with a pregro 17 yr old daughter? I'm confused...

Man a genius is this guy McCain! No only is he trying to win over the chick voters with the milf Palin but the minority voters ad well.

"oh my god she gots a baby daddy?? I gots a baby daddy!!".

My vote you have sir. McCain for President.

(complete silence for 10 minutes)


I guess I'm wasting my educated humor on this crowd. China #1. WOOOO!!!
