English
-
a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary
-
Either means the people of England or a sadly mangled language. Once belonging to the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, the language has since become influenced by scores of other languages, slowly destroying the English language and its structure and rules.
[Shanty] (From Gaelic Sean taigh([old house])), galore (from Gaelic gu leòr (enough)), whiskey (from Gaelic uisge (water)), hamburger (from Hamburg steak), flower (from French [fleur], itself from Latin [flor]), bloom (from German [blum] (flower)) and countless other words from so many other languages have, for better or worse, steeped into English. -
The english language has been [tied down] [gagged] and gang raped by skater fags, [gangstas] and wiggers who all like to shove slang in its ass.
-
the most expressive language on the face of the earth. although widely [insulted] for its strange spelling and grammar, no other major language on earth can convey ideas as [precisely] or as diversely as the english language. This is largely because of the huge amount of words that make up the english language, which [dwarfs] the vocabularies of other languages by comparison.
its name is derived from the anglo-saxons.

[The language] that former [Pres]. [George W. Bush] is still trying to learn.
-
to [paraphrase] from [Pulp Fiction]:
-
A quirky little [langauge] that you wont have a chance of understanding unless you jump in with both feet. English often makes little sense when anylised but is certainly fun none the less, and which by some ungodly reason managed to spread to pretty much most of the world.
An even quirkier group of people that can do things downright eccentric, flamboyant or outragous and still maintain their dignity. A group of people that have ministries not departments, tea not [coffie] and an accent renouned in most of the world. An [englishman] has a natural born ability of self [depreciation], a complex sense of humour (with a [u]), and a brilliant cricket team (just dont tell the australians that). The english are also rather renouned for complaining about the weather or lack-there-of.
