Etymology

Compound of 和製 (wasei, “Japanese-made”) +‎ 英語 (eigo, “English (language)”).

Noun

和(わ)製(せい)英(えい)語(ご) • (wasei eigo) 

1. Japanese pseudo-anglicisms: Japanese coinages using English roots, not in use in anglophone countries nor by English native speakers, but only by speakers of Japanese

   This includes terms such as スキンシップ (sukinshippu, “close physical contact”), アフレコ (afureko, “post-recording, overdubbing”, from a blend of “after” + “recording”), and ジーパン (jīpan, “jeans”, from a blend of “jeans” + “pants”).
