singuish

singuish = to sing as a weapon that is used to extinguish your enemy, to abolish and demolish the foolish, or cause an opponent to languish in anguish. Yes, to make another vanquish and relinquish...because of your song.
Best known story Jewish story found in 2 Chronicles 20, called Jehoshaphat's Victory. "After consultation with the leaders of the people, King Jehoshaphat determined that there should be a choir leading the army of Judah, clothed in sanctified garments and singing the song "His Loving-kindness Is Forever" as they walked along praising and thanking the Lord! And at the moment they began to singuish, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to begin fighting among themselves, and they destroyed each other! "

singlish

It’s the native language in Singapore… Apparently.
A colloquial dialect that is somewhat similar to Manglish (A colloquial dialect in Malaysia) and is just as intimidating to those who are not familiar with this form of dialogue. Contrary to popular belief, people who converse in singlish are not retarded. It is just an articulated form of the “culture” being expressed through incoherent speech.
It goes something like this:
“What lah – (insert a bunch of made up words that make you go “WTF” here) – Mee Siam.”

The government had a huge hoo-hah concerning the liberal usage of this language some years back. This was clear evidence that the government had way to much free time on their hands…Wayy – too – much – free – time!
Prime minister of Singapore addressing to the nation: “I’ve had enough of this popcockery! Singlish must go… Now!”
Singaporeans: “awwwww …buggermaquilt.”
