Signs from the Philippines (Viral Email)

posted on 11 Mar 2010 in Engrish Pics from Web

Here are the contents of another viral email that has gone around – apparently originating from the Philippines. Generally speaking Filipinos are good English speakers, but it seems you can find some Engrish here and there.

I have seen this last one before – not sure if it actually originated in the Philippines or not:

    The second one is definitely a deliberate pun, not Engrish.

    “This is Eat” also looks like a deliberate pun to me.

    ROFLOL @ stiff slope!! the caption there, bangin is pronounced as ba-ngin. just like the english bangin’ only the second syllable has the longer sound. and it means either a canyon or a cliff. not a slope.

    I wish I had a photo of it, but outside a club in Makati City, Manila, I saw a sign state “Leave your drugs at home and your guns at reception”. Welcome to the Philippines.

    hurry cutter and this is eat are “deliberate puns”, as one commenter says. filipinos are quite notorious for that.
