Blinglish

またblingの話かと言われそうですが、bling と Englishで合成した "Blinglish" は最近の若者言葉を表す単語になったそうです。(主に英国での用法と思われます)
Gardian Unlimited
But a new report, based on interviews with young people across Britain, suggests that more and more white youths now see black street culture as their only credible influence in the UK. And, what's more, the predominance of black culture has even led to the formation of a fledgling hybrid language - 'Blinglish'.

The Independent News
English slang is now changing so fast that an estimated five new expressions are coined every day. Before you get to the bottom of this page, another one will almost certainly have been born. Teachers and parents won't like it; they won't even understand it - but it will be fresh, young, and out there.

Urban Dictionary
Blinglish is the vocabulary of corrupted English words created and used in hip hop by bejeweled celebrities, particularly gangsta (witness!) rappers, to identify themselves and to tell their stories. It is a product of ignorance and poor schooling masquerading as independent thought.
Everything gon be alright; bottle poppin; u betta run wit it; conversate with some chicks; clowned Before we end up fightin; Ludacris (song title), etc., ad nauseam.
The rapper might have a story to tell or a lesson to teach, but, since he's using Blinglish, he's keeping his message a secret from everyone except those who already know it.
私は日本語でも若者言葉は余り理解できないので "Blinglish" は "It's all Blinglish to me." で当然ですよね。
