We used to shortened words in our daily conversation. Let alone the grammatical and all scattered errors. The shorter, the better right? As long as the meaning could be communicate successfully, mission accomplished! Haha!
Below are some examples I read from one of my favourite book. Enjoy!
English: Why is that idiot honking anyway?
Manglish: That idiot horn for what?
English: I'd like to order a glass of plain water.
Manglish: Sky juice one.
English: What are you talking about? That's absolutely ridiculous!
Manglish: You talk what? Rubbish-lah.
English: Would you reverse your car?
Manglish: Gostan!
English: Oh dear, I'm going to be in deep trouble.
Manglish: Die!
