if you speak more than one language and know another person who can too: text them or write to them in a huge jumbly combination of all the languages

for example, i text my brother in hebrew, but with the cyrillic writing system, while using german grammar and english slang

it sounds horrible, and i can’t think of anything that it actually helps you with, but it’s really insanely fun
