Saw this in an advert yesterday. It brought back so many memories from my childhood. Dad taught it to me, we used to talk in code, drove Mum and my brother mad because they didn't know what we were on about. I didn't know it had a name until yesterday it's called pig latin. You put the first letter of a word to the end and add AY. Anyone remember it?

Now you mention it back slang sounds familiar.

I've never come across it but reading it makes more sense than some of what I'm trying to cope with in evening classes. (I wish someone had told me that each of the three genders of Polish nouns can have any one of 7 case endings before I'd started. I might have chosen something easier instead!).

I'm sure that the information is widely available . . . for anyone who already speaks Polish!

Woofgang & Caran:
I can vaguely remember someone trying to introduce backslang ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_slang ) when I was at school but it was quickly suppressed by our teachers, who regarded it as 'common'. (In a school where simply playing soccer for an organised team, in your own time, was an automatic expulsion offence, anything else that was seen as 'common' was definitely to be avoided!).
