Wasei-eigo (和製英語, translated "English Made In Japan") are Japanese pseudo-Anglicisms: English constructions not used in the English-speaking world or by native English speakers, but that appear in Japanese. This should not be confused for foreign words gairaigo, which generally refer to words from European languages, especially American English. These include acronyms and initialisms particular to Japan – see list of Japanese Latin alphabetic abbreviations.
