Title: What is the meaning of "I cosay"?
Tags: search
Question: Search the web for the phrase "I cosay".  I run across this phrase being used from time to time by individuals in tech forums, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it means or how it makes sense in the context of the conversations where it is used.
Am I just way behind the times?  New slang?
Comment: @splattne: how do you know this is not a programming-related question if you don't know the answer to it?

Comment: @splattne: urbandictionary.com has no defition for cosay. Nice try.

Comment: @splattne: never heard of "defition", perhaps yahoo answers can help you ;-)

Comment: "Question closed as "not programming related" by splattne 14 secs ago" - how do you know it's not programming related? - and if you do, why didn't you answer the question with the non-programming related answer, then close it, that'd have been more helpful..  :o)

Comment: Steven and Andrew, why do you assume I don't know the answer? Okay, if you like, let's bring a little http://www.urbandictionary.com/ to StackOverflow ;-)

Comment: Note to myself: never close a question again. There will always be people who are interested in it. ;-)

Comment: Steven, here is a new question for SO: "What is the meaning of defition? - Run across this phrase being used from time to time by individuals in tech forums, but I cannot figure out what it means or how it makes sense in the context of the conversations where it is used." - Just kidding...

Comment: Steven, your words: "urbandictionary.com has no defition for cosay. Nice try." ;-) - PS: I have to admit - the answer to this question was worth reopening it.

Here is the accepted answer: As far as I can tell from the contexts Google pulls up, it is a very poorly machine-translated form of "codigo".  "digo" or some variant is "I say", so it forms it as "I cosay" when it really shouldn't be rachelcortez@example.com.  Roughly translated it should probably be "code" or "encoding".
Comment for this answer: The very first link I get from a google search for "i cosay" is: 'Resumo de I Cosay Gives Vinci (el Codigo Da Vinci) - Brown, Dan'. This is, of course, everyone's favorite religious conspiracy work, The Da Vinci Code. (Da can also mean 'give' in Spanish.)
Comment for this answer: Yes, I believe that this is the correct answer.  Codigo being translated from Spanish as "I co-say" rather than just "code".  Good one!
Comment for this answer: I agree with David B. I see alot of foreign (bad english) with the saying. So far it is mostly coming from a French and Spanish translation.
Comment for this answer: Here's one in context, and the page even says it was machine-translated...  http://en.programacionweb.net/articulos/articulo/?num=106

Here is another answer: In french from Quebec (not France) it means : "I do not understand what you are talking about, can you repeat?" but it's a very low level of language... nothing official and shouldn't be used ... often kid use that type of expression...

Here is another answer: from the context of usage it looks like slang for agreement - you say X and I cosay X - possibly invented by non-native english speakers - but that does not cover all of the contexts of usage...

Here is another answer: It's pig latin for Psycho.
Comment for this answer: Ooklay it up on Ikipediaway if it doesn't make ensesay... :)

Here is another answer: Without context, I'll have to say a cosay is the counter-say in the same vein that cosine is a counter to sine.
