I found the wikipedia article on Denglisch very interesting. I had previously understood the catch behind das Handy and cell phone (I always remember that they are connected). The main thing I realized is that a lot of the words could be explained in normal German terms is much easier and quicker to explain in English terms. This happens in many languages in the form of slang. In the reverse, seeing what popular English terms mean in German (like smoking meaning tux). I'd be very interested in using some of these words in context.
