Salster! Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone even heard of Haigy-Paigy? No because its secret shhhhhhhhh. To be fair I've never heard of it but it sounds very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSo Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hello taffy124, I was beginning to think nobody had heard of it...tis suppose to be secret language though:hihi: My mother speaks it and so does my 13 year old niece now. You put the phrase 'hay' or 'gay' in front (or before) every vowel in the word I think. I've tried and just don't get it, but I can pick bits out when I hear it. Mostly though it just sounds like double-dutch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashbang Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 My sisters and myself often speak haigy paigy, especially when we don't want other family members to know what we are on about. My OH gets quite annoyed with it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
