What is zangendeutsch? Google isn’t giving me much in the way of English answers

It’s basically an insider from a German meme community here on lemmy. The community is called ich_iel (a translation of me_irl) and people use bad literal translations from English as a joke and call it Zangendeutsch. Butterfliege is a literal translation of butterfly but not the real translation.

I wish I spoke German. That’s exactly my type of humor. Lol

It’s never too late to learn. Just don’t use the ich_iel community as study material or you’ll end up speaking a very strange kind of German.
