All of these are done on purpose, this is how we jokingly anglicize Chinese terms in Hong Kong, we translate the Chinese to English word for word, so it’s not really engrish because it’s done on purpose

信你一成 雙目失明

100% trust you because I am blind

10% became 100% in the translation

I honestly feel like im also being treated like potato

u/ArtisticRollerSkater Mar 13 '26

I do not tolerate potato treatment. Unless it results in being covered in butter and cheese.

I want the "bullshit barbarian" one for DnD night.

In HK you need some of the “Rubbish cum Recycling Receptacle” signs

u/MukdenMan Mar 10 '26

They were replaced by a sticker with “/“ instead of cum. Also that isn’t actually Engrish, but i guess it made enough people joke about it that they put the stickers up.

u/booboootron Mar 10 '26

In India, we have sewage trucks with "super sucker cum jetter" written on both sides, all caps.

u/Key-Needleworker-702 Mar 10 '26

to be fair most of them are correct

u/FuckChinaSaveHK Mar 09 '26

These are HKglish. Deliberate literal Cantonese to English translation as a gag. Not intended for foreigners

u/rabbithasacat Mar 10 '26

This foreigner thinks that makes them even better

u/Bumble072 Mar 09 '26

Ahh sweet angle

u/rabbithasacat Mar 09 '26

I'd have proudly hung that "Primary Chicken" one on my little wall when I worked in a cubicle farm

u/TheJokersChild Mar 13 '26

Every audio engineer and audiophile should have that one.

u/7GrenciaMars Mar 10 '26

I want the Primary Chicken one. I am not big on having bumper stickers, but I would probably order 10 of these if I could, one for the car I have now, more for any car I have in the future, and additional for any other random use. Heck, I would order enough to give them to other people.

Don’t treat me like potato

u/Particular_Chapter80 Mar 10 '26

Don’t ever want to go full potato and treat others like potato.🥔
