Some of the words used in the N.T. have "theologically loaded" meanings as they are used in the N.T. For example, Paul uses the common words SARX and PNEUMA to achieve a semantic device which is unique to him (or at least he mos t fully developed it) and not found in the classical writers.

Although it has plenty of variants, what is constant is this: in pig Latin, a word's initial consonant sound is moved to the end of the word, and then followed by the sound ay.
We also know pig Latin is more an American phenomenon than a British one; British schoolchildren tend to prefer rhyming slang.
