i disagree. i believe we should change to Mandarin, as it's the most widely spoke language in the world (in terms of people's 'first language'). 885 million! compare that to 2nd and 3rd place, spanish and english, 332 million and 322 million (respectively), then you see that really we're using the wrong language here. we should be appealing to the masses! who's with me? or as they say in china...

Why don't we just make up our own language...

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

Yeah, we could say "anthymeme" instead of, let's say, "record", and "flim-flam" instead of "rock". Like:

I think Frank's new anthymeme fucking flim-flams!

Denis, you're onto something there. I see a sticky thread:

"Frankish Languish: FB and Pixish Lexicon"

I'd be happy to collect entries and compile. Maybe make a little searchable slang dictionary?

Waddya think?

Esperanto is bullshit, it is only based on indo-european languages. We should speak Volapük.
