Japanese English
Japanese has lots of fake English. I mean the word sounds English but not English meaning. For example Winker. In Japan this meaning is Blinker. Not close to eye. Next is baby car. This meaning is buggy. Not small car.
Like these words is very fun for me but also very complicated.

In American English we do not use the word buggy although I'm familiar with the word. I've heard that people call shopping carts buggy's in some parts of the country but I honestly don't think it's common. We say winked or wink for closing an eye. I think other countries English words are funny to. In America we use the word pants which means a pair of jeans. i'm told in Britain they call jeans by the word panties which in America is women's underwear. haha I'm not sure if that's true but I'm not suprised if it is!
