Nihongo de ok

In Japanese, the phrase nihongo de ok 日本語でおｋ, meaning literally "with Japanese, [it] is okay," is a meme used when someone says something that sounds like a foreign language, i.e. like they're speaking Greek, talking using Greek, with Greek, rather than with Japanese.

See the de で particle for details.
