The phone commercial says, "Talk, Play, Love" but wouldn't it be more accurate for Korea if "play" was changed to "pay?"
I was thinking of this recently, as I saw a new business in the area.
Someone just opened a "sexy bar" down the street on the way to the subway, and tried to spell the sign in English. It's supposed to say, "Bubble Bar." They made attempt to spell it right, but they printed it as, "Burble Bar" instead.
What is a "Burble?"
It sounds like some kind of mistake in speech that a drunken ajosshi would make due to a belch. |
