Wikipedia sagt dazu:
Denglisch ist ein Kofferwort, das sich aus „Deutsch“ und „Englisch“ zusammensetzt. Parallel dazu, jedoch weniger geläufig, existieren die Ausdrücke Engleutsch und (engl.) Germish.

Some users might be interested in that information, so here an easy and short way to answer that question with the help of Terminal and your favorite editor (vi in this example)
