then I think it qualifies as having its own language. Today we were at Office Max buying new printer cartriges and as we went to check out the lady asked, "Would you like any piper to go with that?" I didn't hear what she asked the first time and she'd caught Matt off guard so he didn't know what she was saying.
"What?" Matt asked.
"Would you like any piper?" she repeated.
"Piper?" Matt asked.
I'd heard her the second time and completely understood what she was saying, but Matt was still in the dark. Right after he said "piper?" she repeated the word for the third time while I simultaneously said "paper" and softly swatted him on the leg because it kind of sounded like he was making fun of her accent.
Finally understanding he replied, "Oh, no thanks," we finished our check out and left the store.
Outside and out of earshot we started busting up laughing over it. He hadn't been making fun of her; he just genuinely had no idea what she was saying. He thought she was talking about some sort of pipe cleaner or something.
It was one of the best laughs I've had in a long time.
