Talking Foblish

Foblish n.stilted or incorrect English spoken or written by a non-native speaker.

as in: "Your english hasn’t gone downhill, you’ve just learned to speak some fabulous foblish!"

from: Double-Tongued Word Wrester

Now I can say that I am affluent in French & English foblish.

No, it's not my favorite word, I lied :D I just discovered it 5mn ago, checking the site mentioned.

This new "Your favorite word forum" looked so pitiful, with that big "NEVER" [as in "last post"] ....

Next !!!


[PS sans scriptum] Word Wrester

" wrest verb transitive
to pull, force, or move by violent wringing or twisting movements"

I have never heard of "Wrester". Obviously same origin as "wrestler"
