Engrish of the Day

“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.)

  • I saw a very wholesome and innocent looking girl walking on Spadina last week with a white shirt that had a sort of lame Vegas vibe to it, which said (and please imagine the 777 to be a slot machine display):

    The Grand Prize
    777
    My Cherry

    Involuntary shivers to the max! Whatever happened to good old fashioned organ gambling?

  • @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?
