I Am German

The Germans love it to create strange words which sounds "english" - but only for Germans. I will give you two examples: Germans call mobile phones "Handys", and for bullying the Germans use the word "Mobbing". Die spinnen, die Deutschen!

Nothing in compare to Japanese English. That's just way too weird. 😂

And among Slavic languages, there are words that sound similar but has opposite or very different meaning.
For example:
Czech: uzasny - amazing
Russian: uzasny - horrible
Czech: czerstvy - fresh (bread)
Polish: czerstwy - stale (bread)
Slovenian: Otrok - a child
Slovak: Otrok - a slave
