After reading this thread yesterday, I left my house and saw at the bus stop:

a girl with a picture of a giraffe that said Deep Throat

the back of a girls shirt:
Whip it to me!
Can I come?
Hold it back!
I can't wait!
I'm gonna come!


Why do they tease us so???

my wife has many beauty magazines delivered and she keeps them in the bathroom so sometimes I will flip through one when on the throne.

last month a magazine had a fashion show held in Seoul and a big picture of an ugly adjoshi walking the runway wearing a black t-shirt that had big white english words on it.

it read: I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO FU_K

Yesterday spied the words "JUICY BUNNY SLOPE" emblazoned across the front of a young woman's T-shirt.

Must be D'squared, a new Italian urban fashion label that's owned by two Canadian brothers. I don't think the stuff is popular in Canada, except maybe with the Korean kids.

'Slope' is a very derogatory term for Asians. That poor girl.....


What's with all the 'juicy'? I've also seen
Juicy American Princess, Choose Juicy, the word Juicy written on the crotch of some shorts (made my eyes pop out!)....

One of my students (a 12 year old girl) had a shirt on that had "I LOVE MY HOOKER" printed on it inside a big red heart.
I had my co-teacher (Korean) tell her not to wear it anymore because it's inappropriate, although he didn't tell her what it meant.

I wonder if this is Engrish material...?

I saw a girl today wearing a shirt that said, "I get it on with guys who vote".

If I wore a t-shirt like that (written in Korean, though) I wonder what would happen... Nevermind. I don't think I'd like to contemplate that thought Confused

*Edit* Ooops- I just read the last couple of pages and Chillin Villain beat me to it. Well, it looks like that t-shirt is quite popular!

I am for sure getting one of those t-shirts and wearing it the next time I go home. Can you imagine what people would say to you if your kid was dressed in a sexy lion, etc. t-shirt?

Here's my experience with this.

If it is something indirect, then they don't understand. I had a student that wore a shirt with an arrow pointing down that said "anchor." He had no clue that it was referring to his genitalia.

My students do understand Konglish, however, and might understand 18 nyun (nyun being the transliteration or "Romanization" of the Korean word 년 meaning year). The students would understand the concept relates to 18 years old, and depending on the law relating to becoming a legal adult, they might understand the complete concept.

I don't know if they understand them. I ask my students if they can read their shirts and the usually can. They don't wear anything bad though (smart kids eh?). I did see one that said "Kid Tested, Mother approved"

One said "Free Hugs" and I was going to hug her just for spite.
One had goofy with his ass in the air and it said head down, ass up that's the way i like to f***.
One said "coffee" (on one breast) and "Milk" (on the other breast) it was nice that she had them labeled.

I asked my Korean friend how to say "can you read your shirt" in Korean. I have to practice it so I can say it to people. One time I said that out loud and the person obviously didn't understand English because she didn't respond. But if I had 100 Won for every questionable shirt I've seen I would be able to buy a new 500GB HD.

18 in Korean has another meaning. When you hear an angry adjoshi say: "Ahhh Shhhhhhhh......" they are beginning the word "Sheep PPal!," which means "f34king". The number 18 sounds like this, so the pun goes. . .

Nyon does in fact mean year. But, as a pun, it also means "bitch." So, "18 years" is a pun for "F23king Bitches!"

I saw a shirt the other day with HUGE letters--so big in fact the word had to be rotated to read from the neck to the waist--: POON.

Saw a toddler with a big pot leaf about ten minutes after I told a young Korean man that the leaf on his shirt was a big pot leaf.

Saw several "I'm a Tosser for Design United" shirts just before and after my gf felt sorry for an innocent young girl wearing the shirt and, like good Samaritans, informed her. . .

Saw a shirt that said, "Did you cum twice, too? I feel so dirty! I need a tongue bath."

Saw a complete dork bobbin' down the street with a shirt that said, "I Scored Last Night." Had a different, less dorky, guy been wearing it, I'd not have laughed half so as much.
