Gringlish 

Spanish equivalent of Pig-Latin, in which English words are "Spanishized" by adding "-o" to the end of the word. Frequently used by clueless American college students on Spring Break in Cabo or Cancun.
Spring Breaker: "Donde esta el bano? Yo Need-o take-o un piss-o."

Buddy: "What the heck was that, man? You were totally talking Gringlish!"

gringlish 

The always ridiculous, sometimes hilarious speech that ensues when a clueless gringo tries to approximate the "Spanish" language. Usually sincerely spoken (as if the speaker really believes it to be correct); sometimes intentionally affected for its humor value. Frequently heard spewing from the mouths of the D students in your Spanish class, stoner surfers in Baja, or frat boys on spring break. Often spoken in a VERY LOUD VOICE.

Most classic examples of gringlish don't ensue from a disrespect for Spanish or Latinos, but rather expose (and make fools of) the gringlish-speakers and their ignorance of Latino people and culture(s).

(D student with Spanish teacher:)

Student: Mi llamo es Dylan.
Teacher (correcting him): Me llamo Dylan.
Student: !Yo soy muy embarazado!

(Frat boy speaking gringlish to taxi driver:)

Yo quiero voy el beach-o, por favor-o.

(Surfer dude turning in for the night:)

!Bonus nachos dude-os!

Cringlish 

Corporate-English: Corporate buzz words that dumb people use to sound important in a place of business. Usually oblivious to the user and annoying to the people around them. Frequently used by brownnosers and douche bags.
"We're going to maximize outtake through synergizing our paradigm and reaching out to our colleagues to realign our focus without having to reach for the low hanging fruit. We will touch base with our results going forward."

"Will you stop with the fucking cringlish you brown nosing douchebag!"

Bringlish 

Language created in GMO (Global Mu Online), basiclly a mix between english and portuguese/spanish.

Its main characteristics are: misspelled words (yuo, liek, teh, ong, plox, mens, iten, etc), wrongly conjugated verbs, poor vocabulary and wrongly translated words.

Dude3: lol, HE IS VERY HACKEADO OKAS MEN?

Ganglish 

The clever language invention that attempts to hide one's literacy and formal education by deceiving the reader into thinking you are 4 years old and mentally retarded. Prolonged exposure to ganglish has been shown to lead one to believe that shooting someone in the face is an admirable goal and will lead to a rich productive life filled with societal respect, endless money, sex and getting high in a large mansion until the end of days. Recent studies prove statistically that it instead leads to getting probed in the seat with a toothpaste tube in prison by an equally adept expert in ganglish...

Also known as "franglais" (frong-legh).

A term to describe a Bilingual Canadian who uses both English and French in the same sentence, usually due to poor knowledge of the second language, so they have to resort to their first-learned language to "fill in the holes". Americans use this as well, but for Spanish and English ("Spanglish").
Classic use of Fringlish:

"Sorry... nous speak anglais very pas bien!"

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
