Where I live, we get a number of used vehicles imported from Japan, and for a while it was trendy to have English slogans on vehicles.
They frequently made little sense, I imagine our ones look the same to them.
You wouldn't happen to remember any would you? For some reason I love those "Why is a mouse when it spins? The higher the fewer." type things.
I have just the site for you:
Engrish.com
I was having difficulty understanding my Chinese boss one day, and after the third time I asked in total confusion, "What?" He looked at me and asked, "Why you not understand me, am I no speaking English?" I cracked us both up with my reply of, "No, you're clearly speaking Chinglish!"
Her: I am struggling with two words.
Me: Ok.
Her: Fuck and fuck.
Me: umm
Her: the first one is like a thing for eating a meal.
Me: Oh! Ok "fork" is what you eat with and "fuck" is what you do in private or yell when something goes wrong.
Her: Say it again.
(Multiple minutes later of me saying fork and fuck)
Her: So I eat with a for-K and f-U-ck in private.
Me: You got it, now go and fork yourself.
(Me getting hit with a pillow multiple times while laughing)
I have this sort of thing all the time here in Spain, though with shit/sheet.
There's plenty going the other way too, of course. At least I don't mistake miedo and mierda these days ...
One time I misremembered my Japanese teacher's mnemonic and wrote that my grandpa was married to noodles.
Teacher told us grandma is sofu because she has a sore foot from kicking grandpa's ass. I remembered it as sore bum instead, and changed grandma to soba
Sofu (祖父) is grandpa. Sobo (祖母) is grandma, which is even closer to soba.
Damn, I still cannot get that mnemonic right
I'm well aware, but thank you.
I need more. MORE!
Not OP but the Toyota MR2 had the following text on the rear window on some units:
Mature sporty personal
More innovation more adult
A man in dandism
Powered midship specialty
Lol those are great, thank you.
I'm trying to remember some of them, or find a photo. I can't remember what model of vehicle they were though.
