Please post latest terms used on tinternet as a resource for others.

For example, use of ‘teh’ instead of the definite article was once prevalent. I don’t know why or what it signified.

I am currently noticing cod Latin terms appearing as if the poster is channeling Chico Marx?
Is there a particular reason for this?

I mean made up words that end in a vowel so as to appear Italian or Spanish. Sometimes employed in a sentence with genuine foreign word such as giacca.

Also the ‘un’ prefix employed with words.

Untrousers etc......

I think this one has more to do with Sartodi’s broken English.

Much of that here owes to the fractured English skills of the late great Sartodinapoli - who has his own dictionary thread here.

Our new found forum friend Lumpen has similar disconnects from Henglish.

Yes. I have now seen that thread and it is useful to know what is going on.
