  6. gtfelix says:

    umm.. translation anyone???

  7. saywhat says:

    I thought weast was West, but India likes us okay so it must be waste.

    • JohnB says:

      Don’t be so sure! I never get a warm and friendly vibe from those tech support folks India seems to have a monopoly on…

  8. alleee says:

    Interestingly enough, I just heard an show (Stephen Fry’s “QI”) where someone explained that this is not exactly “wrong.” There’s a name for this kind of English, and it’s not English.

    A comment was made that, if you went to one of these countries and spoke English, they’d scratch their heads and wonder “what are you doing to our language?”

    • JohnB says:

      I know that in some regions of the Pacific islands there is a dialect of sorts of English officially called “Pidgin,” but my recollection of what it sounds like is nothing like this. For example, “You are my true friend” becomes “Yu tru pren bilong me.”

      • Pooch says:

        Pidgins are a whole class of languages like that. Sort of a mix between two languages where there isn’t a single one in common. If you listen, you can understand it, but they’ll think you can’t speak it right. There are different pidgins all over the Pacific depending on who was making colonies where (English, Spanish, French, Portuguese / whatever islands, etc.) It’s a neat subject.

      • dr handle says:

        Wari bilong yu.

  9. JohnB says:

    Box goes the weastel!!

  10. Jojobear says:

    Drop the waste in box

    Where’s the box?

  11. Jojobear says:

    . . .but I haven’t any weast. . .

  12. lenchoape says:

    Oh, I GET IT! “Please don’t litter,”, but filtered through engrish speaking… stuff. Drap the weast in box, not on grounded.

    WIN!

  13. I'm the chief says:

    I don’t like this wabbit not one weast wittle bit

  14. I'm the chief says:

    half a pound of herbal tea
    half a pound of treacle
    this is what happens if you lesent to me
    drap! goes the weast-le

  15. slatfatf says:

    the translator is obviously scottish, “lesent”, “drap” stands to reason.

    • JohnB says:

      Or perhaps the translator had too much Scotch. “Ish you ony lesten to me, pleazhe help with us. Drap. Drap the weast inna boxsh. In a gadda da vita.”

  16. Braeduin says:

    If you say it with a Jamaican accent it makes perfect sense.

  17. eleanorK says:

    Actually, I heard it in the voice of Officer Crabtree from ‘Allo ‘Allo. “Good moaning. You must drap the weast in this box.”

    • Vila Restal says:

      You’re not the only one. “There is a Pogin seller in the Wee” :-)

      • paws4thot says:

        Oh no. It is the English idiot who thinks he can speak our language! ;)

        Yes, it’s getting to me too.

        • Vila Restal says:

          “It is I, Leclerc” **raises glasses**

          (And his famous line on being asked to picklock open a safe or a door of some description – “It’ll take me five years and ten minutes” “Eh, that long” “Ten minutes for the lock, the rest in the nick” :-)

  18. Un Onymous says:

    Did not Sheakspaere write something like this:

    …And with old weos new wial my daer time’s weast…

  19. Vila Restal says:

    Why does that remind me of the English agent who is disguised as a French Policeman in ‘Allo ‘Allo – “I was pissing by the door when I heard a shat” :-)
