Engrish can be simply defined as the humorous English mistakes that appear in Japanese advertising and product design.The most famous of theese must be "All your base are belong to us" which im sure most of you have heard.
So have you ever seen or heard any funny engrish somewhere post a picture if you have one or just citate it.

Here's a few taken from http://engrish.com

excellent thread. i used to run into shit like this all over Queens when I used to work there, but I dared not bring a camera or any valuables with me to work...

Engrish for me has also always been a way to describe most and almost every horrible hybrid of English and a native tongue. Spanglish is the only term I've really heard in reverse, and it's equally funny to hear English speakers trying to speak a foreign language by adding Spanish/whatever sounding sounds to the beginning or end of their English words.

ex. "Yo quiero... er... quiero you me give-o el quesadillo but without... wait... er... no cheeso Americano, no cheeso Americano. OK?"

edit - had to add this one from the site at the top
