13 worst translated Asian signs ever

21 Dec, 2013

English is, without a doubt, a confusing language. So we don’t blame people for getting it wrong, but these 13 worst translated Asian signs will have you shrieking with laughter!

1. Face Bashing

1. Face Bashing

Need some colour in your cheeks? Nothing a good face bashing can’t fix.
2. Cow Something

2. Cow Something

If you’re wondering what’s in your burger – we can’t help you very much.
3. Eito

3. Eito

We really have to give these girls credit for trying, though. If we were trying to do math in a foreign language, we’d be lucky to come this close.
4. English English English

4. English English English

I guess someone was feeling a little lazy that day, no?
5. Baby Feeding

5. Baby Feeding

According to this poster, mothers are baby feeding things and Wonderwoman (according to the little picture). To complain or feel complimented, we’re not sure.
6. Hand Grenade

6. Hand Grenade

Do not use in case of fire, for sure! You’re better off looking for a fire extinguisher or something.
7. Jerky

7. Jerky

Rude and unreasonable – sounds about right. You meant chicken jerky, didn’t you?
8. Manicure Set

8. Manicure Set

Big foot, we’re ready for your manicure session. Right this way, please.
9. Missing foot

9. Missing foot

Beware! Beware! Something is afoot. Poor guys, they were so close to getting it right.
10. Punished

10. Punished

If you think about it, this one makes enough sense. Unless you took it literally, deciding to go right on the wall.
11. Racist Park

11. Racist Park

We aren’t too sure what they were trying to convey here. Garden of colours? Colourful garden? Your guess is as good as ours.
12. Stolen

12. Stolen

Police, you can rely on them, no matter what your problem.
13. Fall into water

13. Fall into water

We’re not too sure we want to follow this piece of advice. Shouldn’t trust everything you read, these days.
