franglish (or franglais in french) is when the french language has gaps in its vocanulary and so when it use english word to fill this gap. example : before there was no word in French to say week end so in french we said week end (j'irais te voir ce week end). Nowadays the word exist and we can say "fin de semaine", but we often keep the english word in the everyday life though we have a french word now. It's a reflex !!!

I know what franglish is, I just don't know how to speak franglish because I don't know ANY french. I am familiar with the concept of franglish, which is why I mentioned Spanglish, which is spanish mixed with english words. However in Spanglish, they don't use it necessarily because their is not a spanish word to describe something like in english, sometimes they just like mixing the languages for the hell of it. Its created a problem between the younger and older hispanic cultures. Some of the older generations do not like the American influence.

Over here in Germany it has become so bad that many people don't understand advertisements and business people make fun of it. Especially marketing guys are absolutely crazy about english buzzwords. They go to "meetings" with the "business develovement Abteilung (dept.)"

Recently there was a study regarding English taglines in German TV spots and magazine ads. People were asked what those taglines actually meant in German and they got the funniest results. People screwed up the whole message or weren't able to understand anything at all. But still everybody plans to stick with those English taglines because it is "cool".
Funny example:
Biggest perfumery chain: "Come in and find out" - some people understood "come in and find your way out again"

There were many others, quite hilarious what people made of them but unfortunately I don't have that article anymore.

^ LOL... yeah, the "Douglas" Slogan with "Come in and find out"! Whoa!
That is a good example!!
But say, here in Germany almost everybody uses english words... they say "Ne, alta. Heute ma nur abchillen" or things like that. A very "rotten" language, but often funny!

this is the one who practices the Kenpo martial art, he's most famous for his first movie "The Perfect Weapon" released in 1991 when everyone tried to launch a new Van Damme, he then starred in numerous straight-to-video actioners like "Street Knights", "The Expert" and much more...

The original title is Escape From New York.

I think Star Gate is ok but it is clearly a childrens' movie. And I didn't like his haircut. ;-) He has wonderful hair, so why cut it? He is one of the few guys who look better with long hair. In Tequila Sunrise he also had a weird hairdo but that's a very fine movie!
