Japanglish
English speech or writing peppered with Japanese words, outside of an explicitly Japanese or academic context. Typically the Japanese words used will be limited to only the most common words and phrases found in anime that have become more-or-less common parlance among otaku. Japanglish is distinguished from the simple use of Japanese-specific vocabulary by its frivolity: it is using Japanese words for the sake of saying something in Japanese, even if it is only a single word in an English sentence. Contrary to the speakers' intention, which is to associate themselves with Japan and all that they connect with it, Japanglish is more often than not a strong indicator of poor-to-nonexistent comprehension of the Japanese language, as those competent in Japanese will usually refrain from using Japanese terms except when speaking Japanese or when dictated by necessity. Japanglish is stereotypical of wapanese, though its speakers may simply be overzealous anime fanboys or fangirls. ALTERNATELY: English as spoken by a native Japanese speaker, characterized by some or all of the following: inversion (or non-distinction) of "r" and "l" sounds, lack (or inversion) of definite and indefinite articles, non-agreement of number and gender, use of loanwords from English in their Japanese sense (e.g. "mansion" for "condo"), and poor word choice. It may not necessarily be "broken" English, but it is not spoken with complete fluency or comprehension, either. This sense is far less common in contemporary slang.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
The "Pink Flamingo" colour with white text on a pink background is the best selection for this fine phrase mug. May I suggest you also correct the misspelling of "delightfully" in the default option for a timeless gift.
As always, a great gift.
It looks great. I couldn't have been happier
It’s a mug I would never find in a souvenir shop. I’m a legend in my own home.

This is to test if the Urban Dictionary store rating system is working and not showing fake 5 star reviews.
These are hilarious! Great gifts. Cost seems a bit high but i couldn’t resist.
It’s a great way to store my pencils.
I used this instead of condoms It didn’t work and now my nephew is my son
Ordering was very easy and the delivery to a different address then the billing address was done effortlessly with complete correct order. Was delivered before estimated date which was very exciting. Good job well done by all.
Funny stuff! I wish the mugs cost a bit less, I'd buy more. There's an almost unlimited supply of clever slang.
