Rural Dictionary: singlish

singlish

It’s the native language in Singapore… Apparently.
A colloquial dialect that is somewhat similar to Manglish (A colloquial dialect in Malaysia) and is just as intimidating to those who are not familiar with this form of dialogue. Contrary to popular belief, people who converse in singlish are not retarded. It is just an articulated form of the “culture” being expressed through incoherent speech.
It goes something like this:
“What lah – (insert a bunch of made up words that make you go “WTF” here) – Mee Siam.”

The government had a huge hoo-hah concerning the liberal usage of this language some years back. This was clear evidence that the government had way to much free time on their hands…Wayy – too – much – free – time!

Prime minister of Singapore addressing to the nation: “I’ve had enough of this popcockery! Singlish must go… Now!”
Singaporeans: “awwwww …buggermaquilt.”

singlish

Singapore's very own version of english. A much curt and impatient form of english for those that reside in this rat-raced cosmo city.

Example of a singlish term:"Don't talk cock lah you"
Talk Cock means to spew nonsense from one's mouth or to utter ridiculous contentions.
