Manifesting the Googleverse

Lolspeak is obviously a kind of baby talk, mixed with slang from text messaging and internet chat rooms.  The universality of baby talk is disputed, but it’s widespread and commonly used for pets, which are substitute babies.  Or in the case of Lolspeak, since pets don’t talk, we project our baby talk onto pictures of cats, as if the cats themselves were speaking. 

 

Is there anything similar to Lolspeak in other languages?

 

In the Googleverse, everything I can think of already exists.  The act of naming something makes it part of my reality, and Google will supply the details.  Is there a Spanish version of Lolspeak?  Of course there is, if I can name it.

 

And I said, Let there be Lolgatos.  And there were Lolgatos.  And I saw los Lolgatos, that they were good.  And the evening and the morning were the first day.

 

First, Knitted Zombies, and now, Lolgatos.  I’m starting to like the Googleverse.

 

From Lolgatoz.com:

 

¿Qué es Lolspeak?

 

Lolspeak es la forma en que hablan un lolgato.

 

Es una mezcla entre la forma en que hablan los niños y algunos dialectos regionales.
