Taiwan: Interesting English (engrish)

Comments []

Here are things I've found in Taiwan that contained interesting English. This includes signs, apparel, and pirated logos.

How 'bout some grumet dining tonight?

It just looks like prostate.

Self Confident Nature Taste Unique clothing and jewelry -- too much Engrish!

They speak a little English at the salon

Where "cuting" is believing they speak engrish!

Desk-size Garbage Cans (dustbins)

1) It's a deskside "kitchin" dustbin! "This dustbin is multipurpose. You can use it as your own way. Why don't you find your use." Yeah, go be useful.

2) This second one is "simply receptacle, add versatility." It supports a comfortable life.

3) "Helpful reforms of your life." This dustbin is "thought to ecology design. It's spent your life with our goods." Huh?

It's not Panasonic

It's a "protable" cd player sold with all the real Panasonic cd players.

Happily exprime you proge

I'm happy to express the progress I have made in my engrish!

Jacker wafers

There's Loaker brand wafers, then there's the Oriental imitation version called "Jacker"...

Look, it's NOT Addidas!

Ok, not quite engrish, but it's to-the-point

That's right, no fucking around.

HUH????!?!

"The sweetest honry is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the appetite umds the apptetite; retore love moderatedly; love doth; swift arrives as tardy as too slow."

I'm not sure the point they're trying to make with this shirt. It seems like they copied this verse partially from Shakespeare, and partially from something else, but they didn't bother to check their spelling...

"Slovenly Dress" just sounds funny
