I do. In our family, and I mean my whole family, on my mother's side, it's the official language of not anting kids to know what you're saying. It's most commonly used at Christmas time, but also throughout the year for various reasons. My DD9 is just starting to get it. Dh now understands it even though he didn't know it when we got married. eyebay-eyebay

I just had a total flashback of my mom singing Jingle Bells in Pig Latin. She loves to use that. She was a teacher and would teach it to her students.

Gibberish is much better because fewer people understand it. It's the reason I was finally able to get a phone in my room as a teenager. My Mom couldn't figure out what I was saying and it drove her nuts listening to it!

Igpay Atinlay isay uchmay olderay anthay . . . aw, the heck with it.

Pig Latin is much older than TV. From Wikipedia:

In the leadoff dance routine in the Busby Berkeley musical "Gold Diggers of 1933", Ginger Rogers sang part of the song "You're in the Money" in Pig Latin.

A girlfriend and I used to write notes to each other in Igpay Atinlay in elementary school. I don't recall how I "learned" it (probably from a cousin).


I *think* my parents spelled when they didn't want us to know something when we were young.

My DH's parents spoke in PA Dutch when they wished to keep the kids in the dark.

Whoa! A blast from the past. Yes, me and my friends used to speak Pig Latin, and another "language" that totally had forgotten about. Maybe it's the "Gibberish" some of you mention.

My dh's side of the family are all traditional Mennonite's. They all speak Dutch, and frequently mix it in their conversations. If you listen really closely it's not too hard to get the gist of it.

What is gibberish. We used to speak pig latin and then GI. DIGoo yIGoo, spIGeak, GiGee, IgI. (do you speak GI) which is really IG.

 

[jennobrn01]

Oppenglopish. That is what that other little language was called! I can't quite recall how it was spoken. We would insert "op" or "oppen" somehow in our words. (the letter O prounced with the short O sound)
