Engrish - 4!

You might be wondering, how much Engrish could there possibly be out there? I am here to tell you, a lot!

Does this sign seriously say Sandrich? Yes, yes it does. Way to enforce stereotypes Korea.

My favorite part of this sign is in the bottom right corner where they felt the need to emphasize... "Just a bar"

If only there was actually Cheese in this bar, I might actually go there.

I had to blow this one up, but in case you can't read it: " A doctor's daughter gets slinky with her catskills resort dance instructor in the hot summer of '63 (1987). *" It was only funnier when Mike asked "What movie is that from?" Really Mike???? lol. No movie ever said that, I promise.

*Edit* I have since learned that this is a Dirty Dancing synopsis (not a quote though). So I apologize to Mike and to this poor girl for my assumption of Engrish.

So sweet!!

Berry Yam Story, just another instance of me having no idea what this sign is for. Based on the large coffee cup to the right I would bet on Coffee Shop, but the airplane to the left greatly confuses the matter.

Till next time!!

Engrish shirts that I own. (Because I love them!)

Recently, ok, almost as soon as I arrived in Korea.... I've developed a fondness, an affection, an obsession for T-shirts with Engrish on them. My original resolution not to perpetuate terrible English in Korea by purchasing shirts with Engrish, soon gave way in the face of their awesomeness.

So here's the first 4 I've bought, I say the first because I'm sure I will buy tons more. They were all on sale, at least I haven't spent more then 10,000W on each.

The top says "Darling" the middle says.... "I in Dior Chauo" ? You can't see the bottom which has a sentence that I can't read either. I also didn't know what the box in the middle was supposed to be, maybe a TV? Shannon thinks it's a perfume bottle. He's probably right.

I had to take a far shot so you could see the moon/deer/birds/stars picture on top.

And then... "Electronica ecpronice"? What? That has nothing to do with.... ok, whatever.

"WE LOVE don't say maybe"!

My favorite... drum roll please!

rofl! "Talk of the Devils" I'm sure they meant "Speak of the Devil".... almost guys, almost. You'll get it next time, don't give up!

Don't you wish you owned an Engrish t-shirt? Well, maybe we can do something about that....

Post in the comments below what Engrish phrase would make you a ton of money if put onto a T-shirt in Korea. (due date: July 8th, 2011)

The one who comes up with the best phrase will win an Engrish T-shirt (of my choosing)!!!!

Engrish - Number 3!

My latest collection of awesome Engrish!

Ok, this isn't Engrish, it's just funny. Wheelchair racing? Yes please!

I didn't want to unfold it, that's just rude. So it actually says "A moment of a black magic".... If they had ever seen Super Troupers, they'd know it was Brown Magic. ;)

It is?!? I'll have to visit next time I'm in the states!

Once again, subliminal messaging. Awesome Pub indeed! (Thanks for looking awesome in this pic Doug and Roy!)

Shannon thinks I'm reading too much into this one... Really? Do you think I am? :D This would have only been better if it had been on the head of some poor unsuspecting Korean.

I would like to reiterate that I'm sure Americans' use of Japanese Characters in T-shirts, decorations, etc, are just as bad as these. And that the Koreans actually use a lot of English correctly in their signs, T-shirts, etc. But those aren't funny, so they don't go on here. ;)

Engrish - Part deux

I know you all are very excited.... The next installment of Engrish!

So racist!! (And no, I have no idea what this sign is for)

The pig was sweaty (it didn't use antiperspirant, like most Koreans)

I think they're tying to quote things... or say sayings and because they're not quite right they just run all together into jibberish

Not really Engrish... but we think it's "nice" too. Nice....

Hahahaha!! Best "subliminal" message ever.

This is the cutting board that came with the apartment, I know it's hard to see, so here's what is says, unedited. "And Rose, It's simple and stylish design, so get to fit various place."

Prime example of English used to decorate without too much pre-thought.

Now, some awesomeness to end on. I'm bringing the love of kitties to Korea!

That's a little girl hiding outside my window trying to meet Bella! lol.
