    Apparently there's quite an established scheme for generating faux Russian text. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faux_Cyrillic

    I try to avoid thinking about it.   I've almost gotten to the point where I can look at even a long real Russian word and with a minor moment of analysis, pronounce it with one or two tries to find the "correct sounding" syllable accentuation.  But dealing with faux Russian text is like a neural short-circuit and sends my brain in a tailspin. frown

    Speaking of faux languages.  For several years I was unable to imagine what faux English sounded like.  I can rattle off some faux Swedish or faux German or faux Chinese or faux French, etc. but faux English eluded me.  However, now since I sometimes have much difficulty hearing people around me speak, I've come to recognize the sound patterns that make up an unintelligable version of English.  Yay, another item that can be crossed off my bucket list. yesfrown

    This is faux English: 

    And a prime example of what's called "yogurting": singing a song in a language you don't understand by filling in the blanks with gibberish.

    Shouldn't it be "ampers&"?

    but we shouldnt use punctuashon and standariced spellyng ennyway becaws not evrywon has axess to eyucasion its very classist and ablist to insist dat evry boddy spel the same wurds teh saim way evrie tyme lmao just go on tumblr and edukate yurselfs

    lol grammer and spellin are toules of the pay tree arkie and used to oprezz the pour the yong ann the mardgnialyced,,,,, sheck ur privilidge karen get in your suburu??????

    and can we plx stop using capital lettres because capital is evil??? lol?

     

    Okay, I'm done now. laugh I'm not exaggerating too much when I say that I have seen posts on Tumblr saying all of those things, though. It's kind of fascinating, because the dreadful grammar and formatting that's rampant on that site is also strangely consistent. Whenever you see "lmao" or "lol," you can assume it's instead of a comma or period. A long string of "??????" doesn't necessarily end a sentence, but ",,,,,,,,,,,," usually does. While we can't expect everyone to be able to hit the period-key, most people can indeed type a comma. And if that's too difficult for them, there's always the option to start every new sentence on a new line. It's almost as if they do have grammar, it's just a very localised flavour.

    Yep, that (without the singing cadence) is what I hear a lot of the time. frown  I have to watch people's mouths to get more clues.  I watch TV with subtitles turned on.  I haven't gone to many movies in the last few years because I can't replay what I missed and there are no subtitles.  Speech is a bitch but music seems to come through quite well.  Although I sometimes miss the triangle and piccolo completely.

    I'm sorry but I've been thinking about "&" too much today.  I can't help thinking it looks like a snowman with an erection. frown

    ....that second one was painful.

    Yeah I've heard karaoke nights like that. 

    Of course I always used to hear the main lyric of the Stone's song Beast of Burden as being "you never see your pizza burning."

    As a kid I thought Senza una Donna was "Sex and Madonna." And I still hear a line from How You Remind Me as "little women must have damn near killed you."

    Elton John, Tiny Dancer... “Lay me down in cheese soufflé”... actually line “sheets so plain”... thank my daughter for that one.

    Oh, and Jimi Hendrix in Purple Haze: " 'scuse me, while I kiss this guy (kiss the sky)".

    I mean, it's not a secret that Sia Furler sometimes slurs a word or two... But I was listning to Broken Glass, and she was singing someting like "it's just your lover's wrong ass." Cue TigerAnne going LOLWUT? and having to look up the lyrics. It's just young lovers' romance, y'all!

    Some my favourites from other people: (Higlight paranthesis to read the real lyrics.)

     

    "Bingo, Ted and Lighthouse" or "Big old Aunt Jemima, don't carry me to Paraguay." (Big old jet airliner, don't carry me too far away. )

    "Wrapped up like a loofa by the foremen of the night" OR "You look like Medusa with Hair-Rollers in the night." (Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.)

    "We didn't start the fire. 'It was always burning,' said the worst attorney." (It was always burning, since the world's been turning.)

    "I'm sick of Simon with a sense of feeling." (I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling.) Courtesy of my friend Knives.

    "Small cousin Walter is fireing this guy." (Smoke on the water and fire in the sky.)

    "Let's pee in the corner. Let's pee in the spotlight." (That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight.)

    "Might as well face it, you're a d*** with a glove." (Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.

    "Hamster! A dentist! Hard porn! Seven sequels! Mario! This eyeball! And me - The Fishmaster!" (Master! Apprentice! Heartborn - Seventh Seeker! Warrior! Diciple! In me - the Wishmaster.)

    "Turn the lights out, at the steakhouse. Here we are now, eating tables. Help the stupid, they're contagious! Here we are now. In potatoes. Yeah." (With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, entertain us.)

    Fun fact: misheard lyrics are called mondegreens, after an old poem containing the line “and laid him on the green” which was commonly misheard as “and Lady Mondegreen”.
