Ye Olde Englishe
Also known as
Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe <-- TvTropes is king.
I had absolutely no intention of referring to actual Old English, note the ridiculously exaggerated pseudo-modern/old/something spelling
I forgot there was someone here who actually is into Old English. And doesn't recognize
the classic joke about Old English when he sees it.
