1. Noooo... it's not wrong...

they're funny mistakes... what's not to love?

[fizzgig]

2. if loving engrish is wrong, i don't wanna be right

that site cracks my ass up to no end

[LynneSin]

3. Perhaps you need an ass manager

:hide:

[fizzgig]

6. well....my ass is pretty out of control

[madinmaryland]

5. My wife is Chinese and even she lives at "Chinglish"

a lot of the time.

I should have documented them on my last trip to China back in August.

7. Engrish takes pictures from everywhere - not just Japan

The ass manager was found in Egypt

[NewJeffCT]

8. well, I do remember the "Famous Experts Consultation Center"

from my last visit, and my wife told me it was a doctor's office.

And, seeing a sign for "Milkey Mouse" instead of "Mickey"

And, for work, my wife has dealt with women based in China with the English names "Swallow" and "Shaky"

9. I love Engrish.com.

Our mistakes, such as George Bush, probably have them laughing themselves under the table as well, so no worries.

I was playing a CD at work once, "Pathfinder" by Sven Grath, and the section repeating the title (in thickly accented English) caused a co-worker to exclaim, "Is he saying 'Ass Finder'?"

Changed it forever, just like when Homer Simpson sings a(ny) song.

11. The signs and stuff are funny, but some of his comments are great.

12. It's definitely not wrong. It's hysterical!

:rofl: :hi: My husband nearly hyperventilates with laughter when he goes to engrish.com . I found it a few years ago, and it's truly hilarious! Some of the t-shirts from Japan are just too outrageous. :rofl:

13. Why not?

I expect some Japanese and Chinese folks are laughing their ass managers off at the way we Americans warp their languages.

I've always been suspicious that anything I buy with kanji symbols on it probably says "This silly Caucasian woman thinks this says 'Good Luck', but it doesn't". I had an experience which confirmed this once. I bought a T-Shirt from an American company with what were supposedly the Chinese symbols for "Inner Peace" on it. While I was shopping at the Asian grocery, a woman approached me to ask why I had "rice inside" written on my clothing.

That was probably an honest mistake, but I suspect that if I worked in a Chinese sweat-shop for pennies an hour making cheap junk for WalMart I would deliberately write something rude on the product knowing the ultimate buyer wouldn't have a clue as to what it said.

I like this one. It makes sense if you're a Buddhist or a theoretical physicist.

15. I always joke to my husband about kanji symbol tattoos

I say, "That one says Kung Pao Chicken"

[NewJeffCT]

19. That happened to a guy I knew once

he had gotten the Chinese symbol himself that he looked up as "Gift of God" and had it tattoed on his arm...

However, a Chinese guy we both knew came up to him and asked him for his gift, because his arm said he was the Gift God.

The guy kept insisting it was Gift of God, but we then roundly mocked the guy, while all asking for our gifts, too.

14. I actually get to the point of near hysteria when I'm on that site for more than

a few minutes. It seems to build for me somehow, until I'm gasping for breath and tears are streaming down my face because I'm laughing so hard.

[soleft]

31. Me Too!!! It makes me laugh til I'm weak and crying

[KitchenWitch]

16. My favorite!

[deucemagnet]

17. No more wrong than I am for loving Jesus of the Week.

http://www.jesusoftheweek.com/ :rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

21. LOL!!!

:rofl:

that's great!

[KamaAina]

18. My old neighborhood in upper Manhattan offered an example of "Spangrish"

a Chinese restaurant located in the largely Dominican neighborhood gamely tried to translate its menu into Spanish. The result: "Moo Goo Gai Cacerola"! :rofl: I never did see "Egg Foo Joven", though.

20. I'll take the Universal Tso's gallina myself n/t

[spinbaby]

22. This is one of the many reasons why I love Japan

I love the signage--Engrish is literally all over the place. My favorite on the last trip was on a menu in Hiroshima: Rice covered with a thick liquid starch sauce.

[Kellanved]

23. Not an official Engrish,

but still. (a coffee shop in east Berlin)

25. Thank you, Lynne.

Now I'm going to hell for being a racist!

[LynneSin]

29. Wait, I thought Ann Coulter said we were going to hell for being liberals

Something like that.

As long as the likes of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and those other xtian creeps are not with me in the afterlife then I'll assume I'm in heaven

26. It's been one of my favorites for years.

Thanks for reminding me to go check it out!
