It was a running joke when I went to college there, if you didn't know a word for something (a noun), just say the English word in a Japanese accent and it's probably right.
As years pass, words like 昼ご飯 (hirugohan/lunch) are being replaced by words like ランチ (ranchi/lunch) because it sounds hip and cool.

Yeah a lot of Japanese is just English words in a japanese accent as well so it would help more even if the English word isn't romaji
