If you're American, you probably know Pig-Latin. Here's yet another
unflattering use of "Esperanto" as a metaphor, found on the web:

This charming little poem is attributed to Robert Conquest:
Said Pound, "When writing a Canto
It becomes a sort of portmanteau
For any old crap
That occurs to a chap
Plus masses of pig-Esperanto."
------------------
Pound was a fascist and anti-Semite, who ended up at St. Elizabeth's
instead of being executed for treason at the end of World War II.
It's a shame to see Esperanto dragged through the mud in the process
of making a righteous mockery of this buffoon.
But perhaps we should develop Pig-Esperanto.
Ekz.: Kisu mian pugon.
Isu-kej ian-mej ugon-pej?
U-kis an-mi on-pug?
