| I once saw one called "Butter English," which I took to be a misspelling of better, but someone explained to me it had something to do with a Korean expression about pronunciation and butter melting on your tongue. |

Mong English in Ilsan.
Dunno about North America but 'mong' is an insult in the UK |

Not a 학원.
But there's a new smoothie / juice/ shop in Gangnam (by 우성아파트) called Fizzy Belching. |

That's nothing! In Pusan, near the Old Fish Market, I saw a guy had set up a snack shack with a big sign that read boldly, "Pest Food". I assume he meant, "Best Food," since the p and b sounds are used interchangeably by Koreans speaking English. In Daegu, I saw a car lot with a huge billboard on the lot that said in huge letters: "Used Car For Sale." Also in Daegu, I saw a new Pizza Hut under construction that had a banner draped across the windows, "Cumming Soon!" I kid you not! Only in Korea! |

"Only in Korea!"
You mean the strange use of English that is common in many countries and sometimes called "engrish"? Check engrish.com for a few laughs. |
