Want to troll someone supporting a candidate you dislike (only works IRL, though)? Tell them the candidate has Aides! Then say all candidates have Aides......and watch them get confused.
Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.

Here's a fun one in Turkish:
