1) Language spoken by geeks, such as computer programmers or tech support, which uses standard English words combined with technical jargon, such that the Geeks can understand each other, but to the end user, it sounds like a foreign language.

The guy from the help desk was here to fix your computer. I don't know what was wrong with it. Even though he told me what the problem was, he was speaking Geeklish, and I didn't understand a word.

Greeklish 

Greeklish refers to the blend of English and Greek, in the speech of people who speak parts of two languages, or whose normal language is different from that of the country where they live. Greeklish is not a pidgin language. It is totally informal; there are no hard-and-fast rules. There is no clear demarcation between Greeklish and simple bad Greek or English.
"StAff" for "to stuff" is clear deliberate Greeklish.
