Summary/Abstract: After a general introductory description of barbarisms as to why they appear and what reactions they evoke the author pinpoints eight frequent examples rooted in Croatian and attempts at solving them; those originate from the English words Google, tights, outsourcing, drone, laptop, cruiser, stick and bookmark. Some solutions rely on lemmas already present in Croatian dictionaries, some on the online corpus, some on possibilities offered by etymology and morphology and some on precedents. Other solutions may follow the given pattern.
