My girlfriend’s youngest daughter had a birthday recently and she received some clothes with English phrases from her (non-English speaking) grandmother in Japan. They reminded me of the Engrish.com site, which collects poorly translated and rather comical examples of English, mostly from Asian countries. In Japan it’s quite common to use English words and phrases on clothing, and it’s just as common for them not to make any sense.

We all had a good chuckle at what the shirts said, although the first one here, as you will see,  was kind of disturbing. Hopefully when she wears it to school we won’t get a call from her teacher…

 

Blooming

Romantic sentiment or premature burial?

And here is the other:

 

Beatific

Umm..yeah...

They have some other, older shirts that are pretty funny as well, I’ll add them when I get around to it.
