Stanley Unwin
Stanley Unwin (7 June 1911 – 12 January 2002), sometimes billed as "Professor" Stanley Unwin, was a British comedian, actor and comic writer, and the inventor of his own language, "Unwinese", referred to in the film Carry On Regardless (1961) as "gobbledygook".Unwinese was a corrupted form of English in which many of the words were altered in playful and humorous ways, as in its description of Elvis Presley and his contemporaries as being "wasp-waist and swivel-hippy". Unwin claimed that the inspiration came from his mother, who once told him that on the way home that she had "falolloped (fallen) over" and "grazed her kneeclabbers".
