With the breaking news on the Zimmerman case we learned that George and his wife were wiretapped speaking in code (about hidden finances and second passports), I immediately went Daily Show in my mind and assumed that they were speaking in some form of Pig Latin. šŸ˜ƒ Wikipedia has its usual excruciatingly exhaustive list of [language games](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_game#List_of_common_language_games) similar to PL. What Iā€™m curious about is trying to determine which ones were/are common. My sister and mother would use one where they would insert an ā€˜izā€™ following every syllable. It wasnā€™t so much about communicating in secret as it was to drive me screaming from the house. šŸ˜ƒ ---

I like to do the Homer Simpson thing of adding the syllable ā€œmaā€ to the middle of a long word, like saxomaphone, sophistimacated, or edumacated. I also like to do the Snoop Dogg thing of adding the syllable ā€œiz,ā€ like hizouse, Dr. Driz-ay, etc. (It actually was used by an earlier rapper whose name escapes me, but he sang ā€œDouble Dutch Bus.ā€) In a related matter, I got a kick out of the time a couple weeks ago when my favorite singer Ke$ha promised her fans some ā€œnew shizzleā€ pretty soon. ---

I invented a written one called _Blikster_, which I used to confound a Nigerian 419 scammer ([linky](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=412122)) Itā€™s a letter substitution thing; A is exchanged for E and vice versa; B for D (and D for B), N\<\>M, O\<\>U and V\<\>F So, ā€œHello, **standingwave** , can you understand me? - most people find they can read Blikster quite easily after a little whileā€, becomes: Hallu **stembimgwefa** , cem yuo ombarstemb na? - nust paupla vimb thay cem raeb Dlikstar qoita aesily evtar e littla whila ---

When I was a kid, we used Obenglobish. With a few minutes practice, you can speak it fast, understand it easily, and confuse anyone who isnā€™t familiar with it. ---

My friends and I spoke ā€œIBā€. (Much to the chagrin of our parents and teachers) We put the letters ā€œibā€ in front of every ā€œsoundedā€ vowel. ā€œCan you understand what I am saying?ā€ Becomes: ā€œCiban yibou ibundiberstiban whibat ibi ibam sibayibing?ā€ Its actually pretty easy to speak and understand if one practices. ---

Back in the early '60s, we spoke both Eezengleezish and Ogenglogish. Some of us even spoke Freezench and Frogench. ---

My husband and I talk to one another in icopecopromeamop. I donā€™t know what itā€™s called officially, but thatā€™s what we call it (thatā€™s the word we disguise most often). You add an ā€œopā€ after every consonant. Some words sound much too much like themselves when spelled (ice cream is a good example), and the short crazy people start sussing them out pretty quickly. Icopecopropeamop, though, is harder to figure out. I picked it up at work ten years ago. I was working in a pharmacy, and two of the ladies out on the floor were jabbering at each other using it. ---

We used that one, too, calling it ā€œop talk.ā€
