pig Latin
A type of wordplay in which (English) words are altered by moving the leading phonetic of a word to the end and appending -ay - however, if the word begins with a vowel then "-way" is suffixed. For example, "please be quiet or Ill cry" becomes "ease-play e-bay iet-quay or-way Ill-way y-cray".
