Dog, Pig or Pidjin?

It would appear that "Dog Latin" is not synonymous with "Pig Latin"
1. Dog Latin
Dog Latin or cod Latin is a phrase or jargon that imitates Latin, often by "translating" English words into Latin by conjugating or declining them as if they were Latin words. Dog Latin is usually a humorous device mocking scholarly seriousness. It can also mean a poor-quality attempt at writing genuine Latin.


2. "Pig Latin
Pig Latin is a language game or argot in which words in English are altered, usually by adding a fabricated suffix or by moving the onset or initial consonant or consonant cluster of a word to the end of the word and adding a vocalic syllable to create such a suffix."

Neither to be confused with 
3. Pidgin
A pidgin, or pidgin language, is a grammatically simplified means of communication that develops between two or more groups of people that do not have a language in common: typically, its vocabulary and grammar are limited and often drawn from several languages


Which causes me to wonder if I use Dog, Pig or Pidjin German?
I've just been through a Drawer - resulting in "Eine Kleine Ausgeflingen" of an assortment of gloves.  I suspect - Driving - Cycling - General Purpose.
2/3 = "ausgeflingen" third - remains to be seen.
