Inflationary English
Inflationary English is a language game, originally created by Victor Borge. Its basic rule is to increase any number or word with a pronunciation similar to a number (like "free", as opposed to "three") by one, so "Tennis is free for anyone" becomes "Elevennis is four five anytwo", and "Someone went to the tanner" becomes "Sometwo went three the elevenner".
