So, you take the completely normal term ‘english breakfast’ and attemt to make a joke of it, while neglecting to mock ‘alcoholics happy hour’.
Good picture; bad caption.
Comment fail. Seems pretty obvious that they’re making fun of throwing up because you’ve been drinking.
Where’s the funny in this one?
A) they say ‘alcoholics’ happy hour. Odd wording implying a happy hour for those with a drinking illness.
B) The combination of English Breakfast and Alcoholics.
HOWEVER in the UK a lot of pubs open from 9am and serve breakfast. 99% of people just choose not to buy a beer with their breakfast.
Hey! They serve plasma, too! I wonder if they have Pan-Galactic Gargleblasters.
I bet they have some thing that is not un-like English breakfast tea…
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
Ok, I’ll have a gynyantonix please.
Sure thing!
Just smash out your brain with a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. It’s the same thing.
They combined the alcoholics happy hour portion with the breakfast portion to make the caption… Like this:
Alcoholics (presumably drunk) + breakfast (eating while drunk and probably still drinking since it is happy hour after all) = puking (aka yaking it up)
Woohoo! Bacon not so good second time around.
Isn’t there a tea called English breakfast?comebine that with happy hour and youve got some serious breakfart.
I’m not sure if it’s the English Breakfast tea (that’s the Twinings one in the dark green tin) that makes you f*rt, or the baked beans consumed at breakfast along with the tea.
I beg to differ dr handle. Twinings English Breakfast is in the RED tin. Irish Breakfast is in the green tin. Are you one of the rare color-blind females? o.o
Oh yes, you are indeed COMPLETELY correct. My mistake. (I just checked in the cupboard). I’m not actually colour-blind, although my brother is, as is my mum. I think I’m just suffering from Mondayitis, i.e. an unfortunate inflammation of the brain brought on by having to engage the intellect and perform salaried work too early in the week.
Well you couldn’t be colour-blind, could you?
On a Monday, my brain is definitely not firing on both banks – I have to ease my neurons back into the working week, or they can overload and go fzzzzt.
So only alcoholics get to have a happy hour? I guess the rest of us will be bored to death.
You’d be even more jealous if you realized that for many alcoholics, happy hour is 24/7! But I can assure you from personal experience there is nothing about living that way to be jeaous about…
It’s always 12pm somewhere.
I like to joke that I only drank on special occasions. Like when the big hand crosses the 12.
What about at 12:27? It is 12:00 PM nowhere then.
The rest of us get shadenfreude hour, watching the alcoholics make complete twerps of themselves, punching each other up, being extremely unwell, falling over, widdling on themselves and generally lowering the tone of the establishment, knowing that they will all wake up feeling like complete excrement tomorrow, when we will chirp happy “Good Morning!”s at them, dodge their clumsy attempts to slap us for being so cheery and play music that is far too loud for their aching heads.
The caption had me confused. Where I live to “yak up” something means to talk (i.e. yak) about it.
“Yack” is to talk. “Yak” is a bovine species. Either may be associated with throwing up, although I wouldn’t use either synonymously.
It’s 80′s American slang for vomiting. But yes, it can also mean to chat. But I think that context is the key here.
Thanks for the info Janet. I have never heard the term used that way even though I was around in the ’80s. Guess I hung out with the wrong crowd
.
That’s how I remember it too. Guess us old fogeys need to stick together
. Oh well. As they also said back then “That’s the way the cookie crumbles!”.
I thought maybe it was British slang…
There was that old song, “Yackity Yack,” of which I have only a vague recollection, from the late ’50s or very early ’60s.
The Coasters performed it, and it’s “Yakety Yak”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakety_Yak
So did Sha Na Na Nah. I loved Bower saying “Don’t talk back.”
I was always partial to Jocko.
Sha Na Na Nah? Is that some kind of Sha Na Na tribute band?
Nah. Nah was the negative agreement. As in “Baseball is on, no?” only this time it was Sha Na Na, Nah?, only without the comma.
Sha Na Na was also in Grease, placing Johnny Contardo as the “lead” singer. Santini, one of the members of Sha Na Na was in Caddyshack as one of Rodney Dangerfield’s friends.
Born to hand jive and all that rot.
Ah, Nah.
Nah nah nanah nah nah nanah nah nah nah
Nah nah nanah nah nah nanah nah nah nah nah
Hey hey hey, goodbye.
Tournament players of Scrabble tend to use the word “ralph” to refer to vomiting, because the word is in the official lexicon. Proper names are not in the lexicon, but if other words happen to be spelled the same way and not capitalized, they’re fair game.
Strange how a hobby can affect one’s choice of words…
Hasn’t anyone ever heard of kegs and eggs? Hell I always have a beer with breakfast. There’s nothing like a raspberry wheat beer to go with a chorizo burrito.
Excuse me while I go and yak.

:F
An “alcoholics happy hour” is likely a time for addicts to get together for coffee or tea. English Breakfast is a type of tea. Not one bit of Engrish here. Fail says I.
The English Breakfast they’re referring to is likely a very well known meal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_breakfast
Also, if you think alcoholic = coffee or tea drinker, you’re off your nut.
“Also, if you think alcoholic = coffee or tea drinker, you’re off your nut.”
SWING and a miss of the point! They get together for coffee or tea to keep from being tempted to drink what they’re addicted to. (Probably should have specified recovering addicts, though.)
English Breakfast is English Breakfast; However Twinings do produce a tea named ‘English Breakfast’, a slightly stronger variation on their Everyday tea; however I’m pretty sure they’re not referring to tea.
I’ve actually been there. Nothing out of the ordinary, though…
A full english is useful after much drinking to prevent vomiting. it also lines your stomach ready for the day ahead.
this picture has no engrish in it. idk why it is here.
Actually, it’s not even a straight translation from estonian.. I think what’s meant here is that “Alcoholic beverages happy hour”, which is supposed to mean that all alcoholic beverages are on discount at a certain time..
Mostly, english is spoken properly here in Estonia.. mostly.
Much like in the USA, where English is spoken properly, more or less, much of the time, although I suspect you can actually find plenty of Engrish here.
wooh, i live there!!!
OMG, i live in estonia XD
its kinda wierd though…the picture i mean
ayea! a picture from estonia.. Im so proud! I used to live in that city.
i barely get it….but i mean it’s really more like piss-poor desperate to upload engrish. not eve engrish more like failblog.
*even(i know people are fanatic about this)
