Who are you callin' upid-stay?
嘿,你说谁是傻瓜?

ix-nay on the oppid-stay

我们管它叫做pig latin 儿童黑话,类似英语中的秘密语言,孩子之间会这么说,这里ix-nay on the oopid-stay, 把ix-nay恢复正常就是nix 意思是不要停止。ooppid-stay 就是stupid 笨。连起来就是stop saying they are stupid.

我们把单词ball 的b 放在最后,变成all-b,然后加上ay,成为allbay.
如果是button, 把b 放在最后,uttonbay.
star----arstay
three----eethray
question-----estionquay

如果是元音,就直接加ay
a----ay
all----allay
either-----eitheray
or----oray

例如:
This is an example of pig latin, as you can see, it is silly but sort fun for child.

Isthay isway anway exampleway ofway igpay atinlay, asway ouyay ancay eesay, itway isway illysay utbay ortsay ofw
