What is a good name for the Disney language?

As we all know Cast Members have their own language full of acronyms, slang words, and what not. The common name (as I know it) for this language is "Disneyese".

Well, last night a coworker came up with this argument that "Disneyese" doesn't make sense as the name of a language because of the double "e" sound. One of his argument was that when the name of a language is based on the name of a country whose name ends in a vowel that vowel is dropped. For instance, "China" becomes "Chinese", not "Chinaese".

He's trying to come up with a better name than "Disneyese" and he put together a poll for me to post on here. If the name you think of isn't listed select "other" and reply with the name. Arguments (polite ones, of course) for or against any of the names is appreciated.

I vote for Disnish.

It's like Irish and Spanish. Okay, before you throw rocks at me, I know there is no Irish language, it is Gaelic. But, still...

A problem we figured out with that one is it sounds a lot like denizen.

I meant to vote for Disnese, but somehow it counted three votes for me. Go figure.
