My new word today is ‘Engrish’. Engrish refers to incorrect versions of written English found in products made -or labeled- mainly in East Asian countries. They are basically lexical mistakes, covering all possible -and impossible- semantic issues one could imagine. As a result you get meaningless, hilarious messages that either you don’t understand or make you crack up laughing.

-

-
- Ready for some dishonests tricks?
-
- x-(
-
- Don’t fall down!
-
- Don’t droppings!
