When the first crew arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in 2000, they couldn't agree on whether to use American or Russian terms for everything. To compromise, they officially designated the blended language spoken on board as "Shiplish" (a combination of English and Russian). It is still used by international crews today to communicate quickly during complex tasks.
