“Engrish” — the gramatically and often hilariously incorrect English that you often see in East Asia or on East Asian products — typically makes at least a little sense. Not this t-shirt, which I spotted on an outdoor rack at the corner of Spadina and Sullivan Streets:
“Enquired? Bump? Brush culuff?” Feel free to theorize in the comments.
(This stores sells other shirts with Engrish, such as this one from back in May.)

If you ever end up in Korea...I'll take you to Engrish Mecca; Dongdaemun Market. :)
your site keeps eating my comments.
It looks more like "Brush cülüff" the ü is significant in that it makes the phrase more metal.
@Brent the Closet Geek: You're correct -- I was just too lazy to go look up the HTML entity for u-with-an-umlaut.
@Pete Forde: You picked 777 because that's the girl's real-life Unix permissions, didn't you?
