Hi Maggi,

I've heard it called aigy paigy but it seems a bit pretentious to stick an aitch in front.

Hi Maggi,

Just followed your link to Haigy Paigy and guess what, the last person to post was my baby sister!

At school we also used to use it with French or German. now that really is confusing.

Hi big Bro.
Baby sister can still speak it but it's no so easy to spell is it.:confused:

i remember it well we used to use it at school.

i,m a wybourn lass and my partner and i still speak dog latin when we,re out if we feel to need to have a crow about someone who we hope can not understand us .:hihi:

gosh i remember speaking dog latin in my teens, was telling my kids about it and they thought it was hilarious:hihi:

We used to speak it so much at school it got to the stage where It was
hard to speak English! Many years later when I was working the summer doing bar work, two men were sitting at the bar and started speaking it ,quietly to each other and said something not very nice about my collegue working in the bar, I went over to them and siad in dog latin, wagen yagou hagave faginshaged yagour pagint plagease lageave! their face were a picture!!!

in a Keith Waterhouse book there is a similar version talked about called 'argy pargy' as in dargo yargo spargeak argy pargy, i think the book was called One Small Boy and we read it for English at school in the 70's

Must be like Tex speaking now :)

spoke it from being about 8yrs old ,still do sometimes now,also egg latin but dog was the original.

yes,same here egg latin n dog latin back in the early 80s.

about 74 for me.

I've never heard of it but it took me no time to realise how it was constructed (without looking at the links) and once you get it its very easy to read. Not so sure about speaking it, though.

It used to come in handy if you were thrown in the back of a police van with ya mates and you needed to get your stories right.

Unless of course the people who threw you in there could speak it too:hihi:

It's been around in various forms and various languages for years.Besides the version mentioned here, there was a version in the early 20th century whereby the phonemes of a four letter word were reversed,'excrement' becoming ' itsh.'The Japanese do something similar by reversing syllables and the Yanks both reverse syllables and insert the 'ay' sound.Not so long ago a couple of pilots at an American military base in Japan were overheard using pig latin to discuss classified flight details on an unsecured phone.Those lads got a severe baygollaygockayging.
