Wasei-eigo are Japanese pseudo-Anglicisms: English constructions not used in the English-speaking world or by native English speakers, but that appear in Japanese. This should not be confused for foreign words gairaigo, which generally refer to words from European languages, especially American English. This is also distinct from Engrish, as these are actual Japanese words and not attempts at English.
