Have you ever heard the term Christianese? No? Yes? Who cares. I have a far better term that Christian's and non-christian's can rally around.

Mallianese.

It's people who only speak a mall language, a discourse of product's they know about.

This sounds funny.
I hate shopping so I don't know any mallianese.
And...my nearest mall is near Florence,,,over an hour away.

So, like what are some sentences?

Basically any sentence that is centred around a person's personal attachment to a product. I say people have social discourse this way because they've formed their identity around the products they buy.

I don't know Mallinese either, as I live a way from the cities, and we don't have malls here, but because we are New Zealanders, we do have a language that is a combination of English, native, and European New Zealand, which we call "Kiwi". Very hard to understand, and sometimes it doesn't even sound like English Lol!

Actually, I thought this is what this thread was going to be about.
I was in a piazza years ago when telephone booths were still being used.
I know, I'm rather old.
So I was hearing a woman speaking to someone on one of the phones that were all lined up one after the other.
I speak 3 languages.
I couldn't figure out what language she was speaking!
A little French...
A little Italian....
A little Spanish...

PORTUGESE!!

Different countries have different channels. Australia has free to air television, which has a range of dedicated shopping channel's fixed on different digital frequencies.
