In college (way too many years ago) a bunch of drama students spoke a "language" we called "ibee." You break a word into its syllables and put the letters "ib" after the first consonant sound. When the word (or syllable) begins with a vowel you place the "ib" before the vowel. It works like this:

I-bin ky-bal-lib-ege (wi-bay ti-boo mi-ba-ni-be yi-beers i-ba-gi-bo) i-ba bi-bunch i-bof dri-ba-mi-ba sti-bu-di-bents spi-boke i-ba "li-ban-gi-bage" wi-be ki-ball-i-bed "i-be-bi-bee." Yi-boo bi-break i-ba wi-burd i-bin-ti-boo i-bits si-bill-i-ba-i-bills i-band pi-but thi-ba li-bet-i-bers ... That's hard to type! You get the idea. I tried to put in some phonetic spellings to make it easier to understand the construction. When spoken quickly (which takes lots of practice) it sounds like babble and is very difficult to understand (it's easier to speak than "hear").

Some twenty years later I ran into a group of high school kids who spoke "obee." I could understand what they were saying. So I spoke to them in their own "language" and they freaked. You would have to have been there to see their expressions.

I haven't tried all possible combinations but I would think that this would work with any vowel and consonant combination. I suppose that techno-geeks should speak "I-T." Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.

Thy-bat wi-buz fi-bun. I-bi hi-ba-vi-bant spi-bo-ki-ben thy-bis i-bin twi-ben-ti-bee why-beers. I-bi i-bam si-bur-pri-bized hi-bow qui-bick i-bit ki-bums bi-back ti-boo mi-bee. Di-buz thy-bis gi-bit my-bee ti-ben pi-boints? I-bor i-ba-li-beast i-ba thigh-bums i-bup? Thigh-banks! Chi-ber-li-bee Pi-bee.

There was ubbi-dubbi, the language they spoke on zoom. You put an "ub" before each vowel. Hi = hub-i, you = yub-ou, this = thub-is, etc.
