Broken English :

"Hendrick Casimir's take on it in Haphazard Reality: Half a Century of Science contends that broken English is a universal language. "There exists today a universal language that is spoken and understood almost everywhere: it is Broken English. I am not referring to Pidgin-English—a highly formalized and restricted branch of B.E.—but to the much more general language that is used by the waiters in Hawaii, prostitutes in Paris and ambassadors in Washington, by businessmen from Buenos Aires, by scientists at international meetings and by dirty-postcard pictures peddlers in Greece," (Casimir 1984)."
