    I thought you were trolling here, mate, but ya its some weird international language or something, it looks like a cross between italian, spanish and english. How can anyone understand it!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh

    I think what your talking about is something that's spoken in Tuam, are you in the Galway area at all?

    agis thagis thage tagype agof thaging yagou agor tagalking agabout?

    My kid brother used to mess about with it after he had been to Tuam and they reckoned that it was a Tuam traveller slang, dunno how much truth there is in that though.

    Its some stupid kids' code language - in my day, we would beat 42+ shades of faeces out of annoying siblings in order to get the answers we sought. Try threatening to shave her head - works on all young girls.

    myself and my sister use a similar language when we don't want peopple to know what we are talking about - she learnt it from friends and taught it to me. We refer to it as 'flim flam' - dunno if anyone else knows of this one...

    you split every word and put VIG in the middle

    the car is red

    would sound like

    the-vig-e ca-vig-ar i-vig-is re-vig-ed


    when you get used to it, you can speak it v.fast which really confuses people!

    Is that what you were referring to???

    the-vig-e ca-vig-ar i-vig-is re-vig-ed

    rofll..

    i know the thing ur talking about, girls in work used to do it.
    They added a word sounds like "give a goo" "give a gan" and put it on start and end of words. Quitesimply, to understand, find the Common word(such as giveagan) and mentally eliminate it....

    Then get a glass and put it to a wall and ...

    Yeah...dat sort of sounds like it. Also on that link above for FactMonster has one called EGGY PEGGY which involves putting egg before every vowel....

    Excellent.... :)

    The 'He-vig-e-llo-vig-o' speak is called backslang. Very funny sounding when spoken fast.

    while slighty intrigued, I dont think this belongs in humour - moving to AH

    Yeah I'd say that egg one is it.. There were 3 girls in school with me that used it all the time.. It was really irritating..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭segadreamcast


    Heh, if you want to get your own back - try Verlan (backward French)! Nobody'll crack that...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭gubby

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby
