n. The bastardization of the English language that is used in India and other shithole countries where call-center and technical-support jobs are exported so large corporations can profit off of cheap labor. The negative effects of 'Inglish' are often magnified by the poor telephone quality in these shithole countries. Please note: The term 'shithole' is not intended to be derogatory in this definition. It is merely a classification of these nations based on the fact that most of the residents live in poverty due to the low working wage and must shit into a hole instead of on a toilet. I'm sure they are fine people, they just don't know how to speak English.

I.M.lish or imlish. Abbreviation for Instant Messaging English. The result of typing so fast that letters are left off, words jumbled, and general grammar rules are thrown out the window for the sake of expediency. Corrections are not bothered with as the reader will no doubt understand the text anyway.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
