Gringlish

gringlish is the word best able to describe the fusion of english words and greek linguistic format.
h grocaria – grocery store.
to caro – the car.
ta beloziria – below zero temperatures.

greek americans use gringlish everyday.
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 p-ss-o.”

buddy: “what the heck was that, man? you were totally talking 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 cl-ss, stoner surfers in baja, or frat boys on spring break. often spoken in a very loud voice.

most cl-ssic 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.
