pig latin

A made up language often used as a way to speak in front of people (often children and often by parents) without them knowing what you are saying

Etymology:

  • Pig Latin is a made-up language where you take the first letter or letters of a word and put them behind the remainder of the word and ad "ay" to it. For the word scram you would take off the scr, leaving the "am" then add the "scr" to "ay" and put it behind the "am" = am scray Am scray is probably the most popular phrase in Pig Latin, but it can be used on any words. Similarly, ease play eave lay would mean please leave.
