I've recently read an article from a website. It says some words made by Chinese netizens are said to be "cool" by several international media. These words are like "gelivable(给力)", "vacation-style treatment (休假式治疗)", "People mountain people sea.(人山人海)", "Chinsumer (中国购物狂)”,and "Naked Phenomen(“裸”现象)”etc. As a Chinese or a Chinese learner, or a foreigner, what do you think about these Chinglish?

By the way, I've read somewhere, that the "Long time no see" expression comes from Chinese too.

hola amga! hehe Chinglish? Spanglish? what's next? haahah ...maybe is the real future to mix two or more languages jeje see ya!
I used to make better Chinglish words than yours. So I'm more curious how long they can last, if they take English made-up words seriously and long enough, Chinese popular/slang terms seem to be jokes in themselves. That's why China can't even have "fast-food-culture", we are too forgetful people.
I think it is good, chinese should do more contribution to english, because word made in chinese grammar are more vivid than english, we should support these.
I don't know enough contemporary Chinese to understand these terms. This is too advanced for me.
also my Chinese friends are old men who don't know these.
