A: Fuck me in the ass! I failed Latin again because of stupid declensions! This is bullshit, why do I even need to learn a dead language?!
B: Lingua latina non penis canina.
A: What?
B: It translates to "Latin language is not a dog's dick." Scholars have used this saying for ages, meaning it's a complex and elegant language, and you need to put in a lot of intellectual effort to learn it. Well no surprise you failed.
C: Actually, retards, the proper way is "Lingua latina non penis canis est." By the way, "penis" also means "tail", so not only this sentence is grammatically incorrect, but also ambiguous. If you're gonna meme, at least learn some basic grammar.
B: Thanks smartass...
A: No one fucking cares.

English could be considered the lingua franca of the Internet, because it is on the majority of websites.
1337 5p34k has become the lingua franca of sorts of IRC and chat rooms.

The language hos universally use to communicate their sluttiness both amongst one another and to non-hos, such as prude, judgmental girls and horny dudes.
"Girl, what's up with all that nasty-talk? We're not on a porn set."
"Oh don't mind me. That's just my lingua skanka."
