Thanks Lennart. My own interest was only where on the planet you may be. As to my earlier comment was, is their translation of ‘auberines’ as bad as the translation of whatever ‘nonsense’ may have been and would it be wise to check first.
Actually, I decided that German is the language of love after I found out that the word for “nipple” is “Brustwarze”, which can literally be translated as “breast wart”. It just doesn’t get more romantic or sexy than that….
That’s not correct, the swedish word for nipple
(atleast the most commonly used)
Is “bananyttermittfältare”. Americans coming here often enjoy
learning that word condiering how close it is in
pronounciation to Banana the start of the word is.
(there you go all non swedish speakers, you learned somethign new)
I don’t know if I’m the original one. I joined a couple of days ago. I wasn’t aware there was already a czuhc around. Anayway, I’m the Belgian dutchspeaking czuhc who also speaks french (and some other languages) and loves sweden.
Mmmmmm! And the surprising thing is I’ve still managed to lose weight!
Of course, when I get my FryBaby (very small deep-fat frier) things might change.
Substitute a Black Cuillen Ale for the Guinness and I’m right there with you! I first had Haggis on the Isle of Skye with about 6 BCAs to work up some cullinary courage. It was wonderful, but just doesn’t seem “right” without that beer now.
Substitute a Black Cuillen Ale for the Guinness and I’m right there with you! I first had Haggis on the Isle of Skye with about 6 BCAs and a couple of Taliskers to work up some cullinary courage. Now if I have Haggis without BCA, it just doesn’t seem right…

Two kinds of veggies, (herd) and non(herd)? Huge fail.
By the way, is the fried nonsense still free for 500 yen? Do I still have to wait while the whore children eat first? You know, before Virginia eats them first? I accidentally the boiled nonsense. What should I do?
Would anyone like to start and meaningful and thought provoking discussion on how this menu’s use of English is using curious language to grab attention?
I guess this is a German-English translation fail, as it was probably “-schmarren” in German (i dunno what this translates to in English, but there are some kinds of food that end in “-schmarren” in German, eg Kaiserschmarren).
…and does consuming nonsense increase creativity by any means…? Hmm.. In case I want to be creative in weird ways, it would make… err… sense. Does anybody have a bit more knowledge in healthy living who could advise me?
first
Anal sex ftw
oh yeah
You fail.
The whore child speaks?
This menu makes no sense. But I would order the boiled one over the fried.
With a herd of vegetables on the side?
Can I have the baked, skinless nonsense? I hear it’s healthier.
I’d go for the stuffed peppers.
Not the ‘fried auberines’? Not even to find out what it was?
I’m actually really curious to know what they mean by ‘nonsense’. I bet they used an online translator. Tsk tsk.
[ *** Warning, this is an informative post *** ]
http://www.greengonzo.com/dictionary/Aubergene.html
The correct spelling of this word ought to be: Aubergine
loufail, thanks for the warning and thus saving me the embarrassment of being informed
I think Dr Hugh was being sarcastic…
Oh, I accidentally his post!!!
[ Note to myself: do not divulge information that I am not able to understand ]
Hee…!
Duh!
No, because that’s fried aubergines, aka eggplant. Duh!
*totally stunned by the revelation* Thanks Lennart you may have saved me
Lennart wins today’s booby prize.
Not the good, happy, fun kind, alas.
*averts gaze and blushes lightly* Well I am English
C’mon, doc…break from from the stereotype!
*wicked grin*
Actually, I was going to make the inevitable Loz joke, but if you’d rather…
Will we bee needing the first aid kit, then?
For the scary, halloween boooooo bees?
Not a bad idea.
I couldn’t relinquish my stereotype Dragon. They are easier to poke fun at from the inside. So don’t expect my to remove my jacket when dining.
puntastic.
Oh, no thanks, my wife would be very upset.
Surely the concept of humor is the same in Sweden (or wherever you’re from)as in the rest of the world !?
Generally yes but English humour has a complex illogical, language to play with and is sometimes totally unfathomable to non English speakers.
Wait a minute, who is Swedish now ? I know it’s not me (I’m Belgian, alas).
Lennart?
Yes?
czuhc, possibly , wants to know if you are Swedish. Sometimes it is hard to tell which comment is attached to what.
Thanks for the help, collegue.
So, Lennart, are you ?
I’m flattered of your interest in me, but guys, I’m married, so no luck there….
(Yes, I’m swedish)
Ha, I knew it. Just judging by your name ! Jag är så lycklig !
Thanks Lennart. My own interest was only where on the planet you may be. As to my earlier comment was, is their translation of ‘auberines’ as bad as the translation of whatever ‘nonsense’ may have been and would it be wise to check first.
Nedelands Belgisch of Francais?
Nederlands* Can’t spell my own damn country!
Belg, maar ik werk in Nederland.
Actually, I decided that German is the language of love after I found out that the word for “nipple” is “Brustwarze”, which can literally be translated as “breast wart”. It just doesn’t get more romantic or sexy than that….
Wow, that didn’t nest correctly at all, should of been about 6 inches down. Yes, I know, that’s what she said.
actually (since we’re having threads about informative posts and Swedes here) the Swedish word for “nipple” is “breast wart”, too (“bröstvårta”)
That’s not correct, the swedish word for nipple
(atleast the most commonly used)
Is “bananyttermittfältare”. Americans coming here often enjoy
learning that word condiering how close it is in
pronounciation to Banana the start of the word is.
(there you go all non swedish speakers, you learned somethign new)
Wait a sec.
In german “brustwarze” is one possible word for nipple…
another one is simply “nippel” if that comforts you better
Nederlandstalig (but I won’t discuss politics here !
, mais je parle aussi le français.
Ah, la langue d’amour! Je t’adore, czuhc.
La langue d’amour, oui oui oui *sigh*. Moi, personellement, je préfère le Suédois. C’est beaucoup plus sexy !
Ah, le petit-ami d’une de mes copines est Suédois, la langue est vraiment belle! Mais je préfererai toujours le français. *swoon*
De gustibus etc…
And where are YOU from, if I may ask, writing so fluently in french ?
I’m Irish, French is just a passion of mine
We have such a nice multi-cultural failblog community, so wholesome!
Errrrm…..Le Merde?
Uh, no. “LA merde”. It is feminin.
…figures. Most of the shit I’ve encountered in life could be attributed to a woman…. but I just keep going back for more… *sigh*.
O.o …is it strange that I could understand all of that, even though I’ve never taken French?
Not really, that sentence is easy enough to figure out.
Our dragon-friend is Swedish. She sure is sweede as honey!
For the record : I ABSOLUTely love Sweden.
*snorkgiggle!*
Actually, I was just born there. I’m mostly Irish with a bit of German thrown in.
And we’re begging to get you back! *pulls on dragon’s tail*
*whines*
And I want to gooooooooooo!!! But I’m stuck here for the moment, trying to make the U.S. a better place.
*eyeroll*
You show true dedication. You will go far in your task.
Lennart? Anyway what’s wrong with Belgium? You have given the world chocolates, Tintin and detectives with pointy moustaches.
Yeah, those pointy moustaches are cool as hell, we’re all sporting one in Belgium.
Wow, how much for a ticket to Belgium? I’m on my way.
I hear they are closed for the season.
Have I? How did I do that without noticing?
They also have the finest beers in the world.
I’m French, and I find french beer is like making love in a canoe.
Your a Belgian lass?
mmmmmm Waffles!!!!!
LOL
Grrrr, quit pretending to be me! CQIC
PERHAPS YOU ARE JUST CONFUSED
At this point, I have seriously lost track as to who the original czuhc is. And this amuses me greatly.
I don’t know if I’m the original one. I joined a couple of days ago. I wasn’t aware there was already a czuhc around. Anayway, I’m the Belgian dutchspeaking czuhc who also speaks french (and some other languages) and loves sweden.
YAY Sweden!
*waves flag*
Who is Swedish? I know it’s not Loz (she’s Irish, a lass).
*brushes back long ginger hair and does a jig for pob*
*gets jiggy with it*
Is not knowing what aubergines are funny in other countries?
Huh, whaddayouknow.
*Also totally stunned by this revelation*
It’s another word for eggplant, which suggests that the spelling is the least of their problems.
id like the sauted nonsense
Nonsense.
Lol…give me a bucket of fried nonsense please
No steamed nonsense? It’s so much healthier than fried and doesn’t lose nutrients like boiled.
Seconded. I like my nonsense full of nutrients, thanks.
Can I have stuff and nonsense?
No but have you read this book? “Nonsense and Nonsensibility”
I hear their esc-argot is very good.
Oo! I’ll have that with the patois gras on toast points!
I have heard it is quite dialectable.
I already have a tab for those.
I like my nonsense sauteed in absurdity, garnished with non-sequitors, and served with a nice glass of Chateau Mirage.
Ha!
Or to prevent indigestion: a nice glass of Dom Peridon.
Meal Win.
Ever been to the Indiana State Fair? ANYTHING is good fried.
So…
I’ll have fried nonsense, kthxbai.
Has to be DEEP fried!
Deep fried bacon!!!!! Nothing like fat fried in fat.
I saw deep fried bacon on the food network, it renders it completely, but I would imagine spoils the oil for frying doughnuts or elephant ears.
Unless it’s fat fried in fat and then dipped in chocolate.
I think I just had a heart attack when I read that.
… battered and fried again, if you are of Scottish persuasion!
Or if you’re Avis.
Mmmmmm! And the surprising thing is I’ve still managed to lose weight!
Of course, when I get my FryBaby (very small deep-fat frier) things might change.
I have very consciously NOT gotten one of those.
I have 4 words for you. Deep-Fried-Green-Beans.
Oh, my, GOD! They are so good! Batter dipped of course.
Oh, *drooooooooooooooooooool…*
Ahem…woops. Sowwy, let me get that…
*runs to get the mop and bukkit*
That is why I need a FryBaby. Need, I tell you.
Do you buy home made babies for that?
Remember to keep them frozen!
.
And I’m thinking we need to stop by Avis’ for some good home cooking!
Me too. Do you think she may do food by email?
But no powdered sugar, thanks…
OK, maybe just a little powdered sugar.
And maybe some sprinkles, too. Yeah. Add some sprinkles on that.
On a stick.
I think I would demand to view the “fried nonsense” before making a judgement… or trying to eat it.
I think I have seen many a dish of fried nonsense in my time.
I’d like a Scotch Egg.
Mmmmm… Scotch Egg with an Orkney Ale on the side…. *salivary glands kick in to high gear*
MMmmmm been a while since I had a decent Scottish egg! Maybe I will have to make some….
Just give me some Haggis, neeps and tatties with a Guinness and I’m good

Wow… Failiure to get first reply.
SELF EPIC FAIL.
Anyways….
These people have been using babelfish. And cycling through it in random languages 30 times =P
Mmm… Fried Babelfish.
nonsense… does that taste anything like shenanigans?
“Hey Farva, what’s the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the wall and the mozzarella sticks?”
Shinanigans? You’re talking about Shinanigans, right?
Yes. And doeth doth detecteth in thy fabric of the world concealed in small tubes reaching across the world, that thou calleth the internet, a new lord riseth in thy form that some may call a translation service, to dominateth the world!

WORD WALL FTWETH
Not if it’s prepared correctly. Fried or boiled, nonsense is best paired with flibbertygibblets and some flimflam for dessert.
“Visit Engrish Funny for more translation fails”?
Did this get posted at the wrong site?
This is probably advertizing Engrish inderectly. (The land of warning signs near lakes that say: please fall in to the pond carefully)
Em, no.
I don’t know who Em is, but I’m pretty sure it was Jim who asked if this was posted at the wrong site.
yes, I want spam fried nonsense spam with no spam please.
I wonder what the requirements are to herd vegetables?
You have to get them all in the pen within 4 minutes.
that’s impossible!
It’s very difficult, they’re quite unruly. But a talented vegherd can do it.
Seems easier than herding cats though.
Oh, that is most definitely impossible.
It’s not so funny meow is it?
*makes a feline for the buffet*
Hey! Where did all the veges go??
Oh, sorry, we herded them all into a pen earlier. You’ll have to wait till tomorrow.
Felines…woo ohh ohh felines…
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Keep those veggies rollin’
You can do it with just a carrot and stick, if you know your onions.
Hee…The Veg Whisperer.
Do you have to use a Collie?
Of course. And say “come by, come by, come by” and “way to me, way to me, way to me”.
You can but I hear Cuclumber Spaniels work better…..
You can but I hear Cuclumber Spaniels work better
Don’t bother with the Danish Pointer it just stares at cakes
I know what you mean, my English setter just sets around all day doing nothing….worthless animal.
Really, all the English Setters I have seen appeared to be demoniacally possessed, in the manner of a Spaniel that is, helpful but mad.
I see your Pointer.
Ooops, sorry, I’ll be more careful next time.
And the German Shepherd just runs around saying Nien! nien!
Or maybe ‘nein’? :p
A dyslexic German Shepherd I presume?
2 words for you … Hurricane Rita.
Brilliant, Erick
p.s. how do you get sprayed coffee out of a keyboard?
That comment should have linked to Loz’ ‘New Orleans’ Comment. Damn browser.
… and now it is! Damn browser updates.
Could be they are generally bad drivers so have to swim home?
Loz, this clears it up:

Oh Admiral, THANK YOU! That does clear it up. I’m glad it wasn’t a twisted joke. Although why on earth would an Irish car be sporting it? Bizarre.
The Shih Tzu just runs.
and runs and runs …
My Bulldog and Shitzu mix just bullshi.. nevermind…
I snorted! You win fluffy
Pfft. My sheepdog tried to mate with a cantaloupe once. I guess he wanted a Melon-Collie baby.
Oh no, then the baby would have infinite sadness!
But only for 45 minutes, so that’s ok.
But the pumpkins would be simply smashing!
i like my nonsense fresh, as delivered by cnn.com/politics
English nonsense is available dried in Hansard
I get my politics from theonion.com, I find it more accurate than CNN.
I prefer the Daily Mash (.co.uk)
I prefer the nightly bang her.
delicious!
Red or golden?
Enough with this nonsense!
That’s exatly what I think about vegetarians. They are people who only eat nonsense.
Native American term for ‘inept hunter.’
I’m not eating what the two of you are spouting.
I think you should make them eat their words. They would be bitter, but most medicine is.
Fail indeed. I mean, seriously: stuffed peppers? EWWWW!!!
Can I have an order of the nonsense please with nonsauce on the side?
No. We’re fresh out.
Awww.. Lunch fail. I guess I’ll have to settle for the shiny cat in sauce.
fail, “settle for” nonsense it to has be
Hey, at least they were honest.
I wonder what got translated as “nonsense”.
I’m tempted to think it could be baloney.
Two kinds of veggies, (herd) and non(herd)? Huge fail.
By the way, is the fried nonsense still free for 500 yen? Do I still have to wait while the whore children eat first? You know, before Virginia eats them first? I accidentally the boiled nonsense. What should I do?
I would imagine it’s tripe.
And I would also imagine I’m right and smarter than all of you. First that!
THIS is nonsense.
No. THIS IS FAILBLOG!!!
300 FAIL.
You were supposed to type this:
Is this the menu in Wonderland Resturaunt?
Would anyone like to start and meaningful and thought provoking discussion on how this menu’s use of English is using curious language to grab attention?
Sow true, Dr. Hugh.
I guess this is a German-English translation fail, as it was probably “-schmarren” in German (i dunno what this translates to in English, but there are some kinds of food that end in “-schmarren” in German, eg Kaiserschmarren).
(Yes, my first language is German =p)
I think you’re right, babelfish FTW!
I think they mean “savoy” and not “nonsense”.
Im sure that original recipe was german.
The german word for “savoy” is “Wirsing” but it sounds a bit like the german word “Irrsinn” and that means “nonsense”.
lkeeupmaivmryxodwell, hi admin adn people nice forum indeed. how’s life? hope it’s introduce branch
fail
I’ll have some boiled nonsense, with a side of herd vegetables prease.
…and does consuming nonsense increase creativity by any means…? Hmm.. In case I want to be creative in weird ways, it would make… err… sense. Does anybody have a bit more knowledge in healthy living who could advise me?
Bonus fail – spelled aubergine wrong.
What doees unboiled nonsense tast like
I prefer the nice, cool, blah blah dish.
