definition

x₁=m₁=g₁=xl₃ is an inappropriate anglicism made by x₂=xl₂, inappropriate according to x₃=m₃

notes

Refers to any kind of inappropriate reliance upon English in a Lojban (or non-English language) expression, but is most common for calques. Is sometimes even extended to cover reliance upon cultural assumptions. This lujvo is made to have more-specific rafsi-connotations than the historical lujvo-term "malglico" (under malgli), and to avoid possible clashing with the common lujvo construction of "malbroda" meaning "d**ned broda / broda in a bad way". The xl₂ place is also useful, allowing (mi se malglixlu) and (di'u malglixlu mi)
