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).
