わせいえいご
和製英語
1. Japanese word constructed of elements from one or more English terms; pseudo-English word or phrase coined in Japan; wasei eigo
2. Wasei-eigoare Japanese pseudo-Anglicisms: English constructions not used in the English-speaking world or by native English speakers, but that appear in Japanese. This should not be confused for foreign words gairaigo, which generally refer to words from European languages, especially English. Wasei-eigo is also distinct from Engrish, as these are actual Japanese words used in Japanese conversation -- not attempts at speaking English.
