About 10 years ago our company hired a
non-English-speaking artist from
Germany. Apart from being constantly high, our art department also had a
(mean?) humorous streak. They taught him a very interesting form of
English - and colourful. Instead of saying "wow, excellent!", they
convinced him that the correct thing to say was "most spannerlike!", and
that a correct form of greeting was "Hello Sailor!". There were many more
interesting variations, and his English was eventually, suffice it to say,
unusual :) Of course, he could swear like a trooper.

I'm reminded of the Monty Python sketch. "My hovercraft is full of eels"
