As I've noted before, tshirts are the other rich source of Manglish. I've purchased tshirts for myself before simply because I liked the idea of walking around with something that wacky emblazoned across my chest, knowing all the while that nobody else would get it.
I saw the tshirt above on an elementary school girl in front of me on her bike and thought, "wow--all those words are spelled right! Surely they must *mean* something...." But, try as I might, I could make neither head nor tails of it. Like one of those pentamino puzzles, just when you think you've got it--but, no, there's a piece left over.

ReplyDeletelove it though! manglish always makes me giggle :-)
oh, good! You saw this:)) That was pretty much my reaction sitting on my bike behind her. Fortunately, I had the video camera & could quietly take a picture (no way to identify who it is, so it's ok, right?).
ReplyDeleteMore Manglish, coming soon!:))
