Okay. I have not the slightest idea what this is supposed to mean.
z0mfg first!1!11!1!oneeleven
Based on my rudimentary understanding of Swedish (I think that’s Swedish), this looks like instructions for pumping diesel at a gas station. I think it was supposed to go something like this:
1. Lift the pump handle.
2. Press the “passenger car” button. (I guess as opposed to a commercial truck or something.)
3. The pump is activated by the cashier.
Actually, it says personbil, which is pretty much, personal car.
Personbil actually means passenger car.
Personal car would be “personlig bil”…
“Pumpkin handle” means the Orange (color) handle. Diesel typically pumps typically have an orange as opposed to green pump covering in my area.
Except it says “pumphandtaget”. Pump + handtaget. Whereas “pumpkin” would be “pumpa” I think.
Yeah “pumpkin” is “pumpa”. Why someone would translate “pump”
(which is the same word in both Swedish and English) to “pumpkin” without noticing it, is just failz.
“Lift the pump handle”
“Press the button ‘Passenger Car’”
“The pump is switch on by the cashier”
Ugh, “switched on” of course.
they meant “lift the handle of the pump” and “the pump is turned on from the cash register”
1. The first rule about diesel is, you do not talk about diesel.
WIN!
Diesel nighttime the pumpkin turns into a carriage, of course.
(Since you guys explained the Engrish I thought I’d explain the title – before someone goes “duh!” or somethin’.)
Too late…
DUH!!!!
DOH!
Dough!
D’oh or do not d’oh- there is no try!
WTF. O_O
That cash is awfully frisky, hitting on anyone in sight.
Danish kroners are perverts.
Also, Danes are diffucult to understand.
I agree with this. And as others already has pointed out, this is swedish, not danish.
Because danes can’t read or write. They can barely talk too.
Danish isn’t a language, it’s a throat disease.
giggle. my friend who spent time in Denmark said that the language sounds “fake” like people are just making it up as they go along. Maybe that’s what yo mean.
Hvad fanden snakker du om? Dansk er da pisse let at forstå. og vi vil IKKE blandes sammen med svenskere, føj!
shure danes are perverts ad dificult but this is not danish
swedes in this case
Yes. Though this is written by Swedes.
Swedes? I thought it was pumpkins?
Actually, it seems to be Norwegian Bokmål.
I’m sure it would seem like that to a dyslexic frenchman. But not to anyone else.
It’s Swedish. I should know, since I’m Swedish
So I was wrong, I guess that’s because Norwegian and Swedish are very close languages…
Indeed they are.
One way to tell them apart is the Swedish word “från”, which means “from”. In Norwegian, the same word would have been “fra” instead.
Side by side comparison:
“Jeg er fra Norge” – I am from Norway
“Jag är från Sverige” – I am from Sweden
Never call a Norwegian Swedish!
They used to basically own us (1814-1905) after a war broke out between
Great Britain and what was then Denmark-Norway.
Denmark -Norway allied itself with Napoleon, and we all know how that
turned out…
Sweden fought on Great Britain’s side and was “awarded” Norway after
the war!
Bloody sweeds!!!!
Sounds a bit like the response you get if you call an Aussie a Pom. Or call a Kiwi an Aussie.
Danmark-norge lissom
norge var eid av danmark før vi ble gitt til sverige som krigsbytte. Danmark var faktisk verre mot oss, Sverige gav oss faktisk litt selvstendighet, noe Danmark aldri gjorde 
Heja Sverige! NOT!
Hitting on for cash? Isn’t that called prostitution? Is that what Cinderella was doing before she starred in the Prince’s episode of “So You Think You Can Dance”? (Certainly, that show seens to attract its fair share of slappers.) I don’t remember that bit from the story in the copy of Vapid Fairy Tales To Irritate Even Moderately Intelligent Children in which I first read “Cinderella”.
i tried for about a minute to make sense of this.
i got nuthin’.
It’s Superella with her diesel powered Pumpmobile
…Superella: ready to steal from the rich and take from the poor…to save the day and cash in on the economy.
It’s Nutella and her frisky Russian “virgin” friends…
Ah, Nutella! brings back the golden memories…
Virgin on the ridiculous, possibly.
A perfect example of why Dreadful Pun Hell now has a revolving door ……….!
I think I saw that on ‘Pump My Ride’ last week…
On a nother note. The Swedes are the only people in the world, that i know of, that has the same word for married and poison…
Yes, but fortunately that’s their only superpower.
Well, they used up their other superpowers during the Thirty Years’ War. Now in rebooting mode I’d say.
The Danes and Norwegians have the same affliction in that respect.
Thats not Engrish… thats Swenglish…
swinglish…
Swinglish for certain if you are encouraged to “lift the pumpkin handhold” (where’s that? sounds dodgy) and press the passenger car button (anyone for a ride?), and then there’s the pump getting hit on. Definite swinger potential there! It’s practically a petroleum product orgy!
swanglish

Ahahha i’m proud something from sweden is here. Also a bit ashamed
It’s from Gällivare, apparently.
(At least according to Avigsidan.)
Give us an ode from Odin’s Feast (and make your own ice floes)
“Less good than they say for the sons of men
is the drinking oft of ale:
for the more they drink, the less can they think
and keep a watch o’er their wits.”
… and make your own dame ice floes
(btw the quote is from Hávamál)
The reason for having to press the “car” button is that European Diesel pumps on highways frequently have slow and fast pumps – slow is for cars, fast is for trucks – to allow for the fuel tank sizes. If you fill a truck from a car pump it takes a looooooong time. I understand that you only use a fast pump for a car once. Kersploosh!
erm…
pimp my pumpkin?
mmmm…. pumpkin…. *drools*
Moses- please part the drool waters so I can get me some of that pumpkin!
ok, i’m testing my av…
dadgummit!
So, the cashier is hitting on the pump?
I didn’t know that Sweden had such a severe man on machine workplace sexual harassment problem!
it means
1. lift the pump handle
2. press the passenger car button
3. the pump is turned on from the cash register
Can I take you with me when I drive around the world?
What for?
He already explained you how to pump your own diesel.
Sheesh! Some people…
I’m Swedish so i know what it actually means and this is just hilarious xD
I bet they hastily looked through a Swedish-English dictionary when they wrote this.
Now THIS is good Engrish!
Or perhaps some bright mother ran it through google translate…
omg, I have to admit I’m embarrassed to be swedish right now…
okay, but the real question is- why Swedish?
cause the original text the engrish derives from is in swedish…
t3a ma7ani endok
IT’S SWEDISH <333
Ohh ja… ja det lidt en smutter for broderfolket den der. men held og lykke med kampen på lørdag. Danmark – Sverige 5-0 selvfølgelig. (:
sorry for my danish post! (;
I’m actually a bit embarrased to be Swedish right now.. Well, there’s stupid people in every country I guess
the swedish are fun but too racy.
