A pseudo-anglicism is a word in another language that is formed from English elements and may appear to be English, but that does not exist as an English word with the same meaning.
Here ares some German words which sound English but they are no part of the English language. If you talk with some Germans you might stumble over these words. Mabye you can guess the solution.
The most famous one a "handy". Sounds dirty what could it be?
Here is the solution.: It is a term for a smartphone
The word "beamer" is often used in schools.
The solution is (video) projector
What could be an "Oldtimer"?
A vintage car
Hotline help line
Very popular when watching soccer "public viewing" public sports broadcast
"Talkmaster" on TV host, emcee
Maybe you can add some pseudo-anglicism of your language. Which one was the weirdest one of the German ones?
