sooo that's the official name they give to the bastardized pidgin they use most of the time...
Trust me, they're doing that for your benefit. Once you reach a certain level of proficiency in Japanese, you hear less of less of that (except in advertising and among TV tarento trying to sound cool). Or if you're dealing with some who has a low education level. I used to work out at a boxing gym and one of the coaches, a retired pro, didn't know the meaning of the word "cute" when one of the amateur fighters used it in a sentence. She had to explain it to him in proper Japanese.
