DID OR DO YOU SPEAK PIG LATIN?

I was wondering if it might be a NO NO now ? It was fun when we were kids. Is it something that is common everywhere?

Why would Pig Latin be a no-no now? Yes, I grew up knowing it. There was a lesser known Turkey Talk that was similar but added "obble" or "gobble" instead of "ay." Both were games that originated or was practiced in the fields as a way of passing the time while doing repetitive work.

It sounds like a dig to latins? I wondered if it was a racist thing.

Naw. It comes from a time when Latin was part of higher education, so you had Latin, and then you had Pig Latin. It's a joke that exercises the mind just a little.

It sure does, i couldn't get all of what tuur said. It was even more fun when you did it around someone that didn't, lol

I thought about learning pig Latin, but decided it wouldn't be a good use of my time since where I live there are very few ancient Roman pigs.
