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?
