I was watching QI, and Fry was talking about Singlish! Apparently we say 'laylio' for 'radio', 'loleks' for 'rolex' and 'olen tzu' for 'orange juice'. I don't know what I think about this.
On the one hand, I love how the language morphs and changes with the zeitgeist, but on the other hand, 'olen tzu'??? c'mon. As Davies said on the show... 'Must Try Harder'.
