Sorry about this question but I always wanted to know...
What is Engrish???


English, badly translated by people from the far east. Like the change list for the R4 software (Called "Engrish" because of Far Eastern folk having difficulty pronouncing the "L" sound in English and replacing it with an "R" sound.)
Examples: www.engrish.com
Just be careful when election time comes

Yeah - Remember after Bush got in the first time people joking that Japan was shipping over aid packs of Viagra because they heard Americans were incapable of having an election.

Also any C's sound like they are pronounced with a sh e.g City --> Shitty, and as used in the sentence "Herro shitty wok take order prease"

Wait a sec is this bordering on racism?

Reason I said 'colour' is the correct spelling is because it's English, and English was around before American English.
From wikipedia:
Most words ending in unstressed -our in Britain (e.g. colour, flavour, honour) end in -or in the U.S. (e.g. color, flavor, honor). Most words of this category derive from Latin non-agent nouns having nominative -or; the first such borrowings into English were from early Old French and the ending was -or or -ur.

So, it's colur.

    guys, this sounds unhinged, but someone (i forgot who) saying they'd want to make their left 4 dead team wario, samus, captain falcon and nester gave me the idea for a quick round of fuck marry kill/bed wed behead

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    fuck marry kill:
    wario, samus, captain falcon
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i gotta say fuck captain falcon, because he's hot (no homo), marry samus, because she seems like good wife (or as BigOnYa says, wifey) material, and kill wario, because he can't die, so killing him won't really kill him

    My state has put a heavy tax on vape juice, taxing any juice with nicotine by the weight/oz. So to get around the bs, my local vape store only sells 0 nicotine vape juices, then they also sell straight nicotine in tiny bottles, and you mix it yourself to your 0% juice, lol
