Teaching English overseas, I can't help spell checking or deciphering the hidden meaning of signs someone's marketing department wiz translated into English.

Some errors can be quite funny while others can take an innocent remark and change it into something a parent would shield their child's eyes from.

But this one I saw this evening at Lotteria, Korea's answer to McDonald's, left me scratching my head with both hands.

The 1st time I saw a 10 year old girl wearing this t-shirt ( or one with the same slogan ) I was a bit taken aback. After awhile I got used to it.

There's a very young student at my school, very tiny, and he often wears a red wifebeater with a black Playboy bunny logo on the back that has the word Player underneath. It's pretty cool actually, but still amusing.
