Jaspanglish 

A very strange mix between Japanese, Spanish, and English. If anyone approaches speaking japspanglish, seriously question there sanity, unless they happen to be a teacher of one of three component languages, and are members of a Race that is not assosciated with the language they teach, but are a member of one of the three races associated with the speach (again, japanese, spanish, and english)
Ashita Manyana! (Ashita is Tommorow in japanese, Manyana is tommorow in Spanish. it is a play on the phrasing Asta manyana, which in spanish mean i believe "see you tommorow"

Japanglish 

The speech pattern Wapanese use to show that they know 4-5 words in Japanese and try to insert them into everyday English speech in order to sound cute and/or superior.
Did you see that girl walking down the street. She is totemo kawaii!

Japanglish 

English speech or writing peppered with Japanese words, outside of an explicitly Japanese or academic context. Typically the Japanese words used will be limited to only the most common words and phrases found in anime that have become more-or-less common parlance among otaku.

Japanglish is distinguished from the simple use of Japanese-specific vocabulary by its frivolity: it is using Japanese words for the sake of saying something in Japanese, even if it is only a single word in an English sentence. Contrary to the speakers' intention, which is to associate themselves with Japan and all that they connect with it, Japanglish is more often than not a strong indicator of poor-to-nonexistent comprehension of the Japanese language, as those competent in Japanese will usually refrain from using Japanese terms except when speaking Japanese or when dictated by necessity.

Japanglish is stereotypical of wapanese, though its speakers may simply be overzealous anime fanboys or fangirls.

ALTERNATELY:
English as spoken by a native Japanese speaker, characterized by some or all of the following: inversion (or non-distinction) of "r" and "l" sounds, lack (or inversion) of definite and indefinite articles, non-agreement of number and gender, use of loanwords from English in their Japanese sense (e.g. "mansion" for "condo"), and poor word choice. It may not necessarily be "broken" English, but it is not spoken with complete fluency or comprehension, either. This sense is far less common in contemporary slang.
"Did you see that fangirl simply fawning over the cosplayer back there? She glomped him and squealed that he was "sooooooo kawaii" along with other random Japanglish nonsense."

-or-

"Our new business partners tried to humor us by speaking our language, but their Japanglish was so broken that we couldn't make heads or tails of what they were trying to say."

Japanglish 

Also, heavily mispronounced and used incorrectly.
Mispronounced: Neko (which would be pronounced neh-koh) is pronounced by Wapanese as niko.

Incorrect Usage: Many Wapanese try to add honorifics to their own names, which is not only impolite, but indicative of how little they know about anything Japanese, such as: -name-chan (or -kun ir -san or -sama or -dono, etc.)

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
