Fun with words


Sick Boy

Recommended Posts

I'm constantly spotting little gems of dodgy diction and so I'd thought I'd share some of them with you.

It never ceases to amaze me why the perp responsible for these never thought to ask, "Excuse me farang, does this look Ok to you?"

This first one must have been run off in the thousands and at considerable cost. This was on the cover of a well known medical supplies diary. Beautifully bound, A4 sized, gilt edged, executive stuff any CEO would be proud to own.

Obviously a great deal of thought had gone in to the impressive graphics adorning the cover and underneath in big, bold font were the words:

"With 3M dental products any amazing beautiful can be happened to your patients"

Priceless!

I always remember reading from a menu in....Chiang Mai, I think it was, the appetising words:

"Omelette with stuff"

Oh well there's a couple for now. I bang some more up later, if you want.

Later.

If you're from Edinburgh like your namesake I'd say 'gie bile yer heid'...

Aye...we may come from other "english speaking" countries but nowt among us can understand your patois or the Glaswegian...

Don't get me wrong...I liked the Saraheid before that wop did it up...still not a bad bar...except for no more quarter gills...

Get it right mate...Scotland linguistically is a foreign land...

No desrespect...my son was born at the maternity hospital on Rotten Row in glasgie...and scots, except when they are OTT drunk are my favorite people...

Aghh! I've been rumbled!

Ah no ken aloat aboot Edinburgh, likesay. Ah ken some radge Weedgie gadges though.

Many a fine Scotsman out there. I, however, am not one of them. I'm as English as The Dog's <deleted> mate.

Yer man Irvine Welsh has had a profound effect on this radge.

Read "Glue" and then "Porno" if you haven't already. Obviously one must have read "Trainspotting" first.

Later, Tutsiwarrior. Nice one.

At the dolphin round about in pattaya the sign indicates drivers to: LEFT INSIDE CIRCLE FIRST

not as funny as some of yours but it always makes me smile

bearing in mind we drive on the left if every one took notice every one would always be giving way
