Aye! I’me leprechaun!
Engrish from Ireland?
I think its trying to be “Hip” and “Cool” Ex. “Press for green, man.” or its just saying if you press this you’ll get sick “Press [to become] green man”
I almost think it means “press green for man”. As in technical support/customer service!
You get someone who will help you be kinder to the environment.
Come on people? Do none of you watch Always Sunny in Philadelphia? GREEN MAN!!!
He’ll kick you in the nuts if you press that button!
*pushes button*
*looks around*
.
.
.
*pushes button again*
*Kicks SS in the nuts*
OH, THE UNIMAGINABLE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*flops on ground like a fish*
.
.

WTF WAS THAT FOR?! I ONLY ‘PUSHED’ THE BUTTON!!! I DIDN’T ‘PRESS’ THE BUTTON!!!!!!!
*whimpers*
The button is my best friend… dont you go pushing him around… OR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!
*pushes SOME RANDOM GREEN JERK*
HEY! *Kicks SS in the nuts*
*ow*
Is anybody gonna help? I’m kinda…..immobilized…….
*Pulls SS to feet* Be more careful, dude! Between filming accidents and pushing the wrong buttons, you’re going to get seriously messed-up.
*pushes the red button*
*pushes a flurry of buttons*
*pushes every button in the world*
Awesome.
I love this! Press the button and a green man sprints out with a circle around him!! I could stand here and do this all day.
But what came out of it aint green nor is it a man, rather it spat out a red woman.
If phones had buttons this big we would all be in trouble
This button makes the blue man group pee themselves.
Now you can get the HULK to come just by pressing this button!
I’m sure he’d appreciate that, but we need him to stay angry.
What if I hit him while he’s coming? Would that help?
He might be into that.
So if I want him to stay angry, I need to press his buttons.
*press*
When you press it it sprays you in the face with Peyote paste and then ejects you into the nearby forest
Gee.
Push-button paganism.
Who knew?
You are win. I thought no one would notice that.
Please to press down for the one called the Greenman… :->
With apologies to XTC.
Is it just me, or is this kind of… normal? Me, my family and all of my friends call the green walking light the green man – “don’t cross yet, wait for the green man!” I suppose then, that this is normal in the UK (of course you’d only see the button with “WAIT” above it.
I bet some troll will comment on this…
No troll.
Where I live we have the red hand and the white man.
I believe I’ve seen this Western!
“Can’t get much ranch work outta them savages, Carlita.”
“Don’t you worry, Hank. I’ll see what I can do to get him some gumption.”
That sounds like the set-up for the plot of a Western.
An old cowboy and indians P0rno.
Lust in the Dust.
*sigh*
To simply say “Press the button for the green man” makes no sense unless you explain that the green man means you can walk.
Which is pretty much all it can mean in context at a pedestrian crosswalk (with a green man likely within eyeshot).
But it does make sense without the explanation if it is a commonly used idiom in that place.
*sigh*
@jinxed: But this is not in the U.S., ergo no exhaustive explanation is needed for the slow-witted.
Not Engrish. It’s a sign with simple and to-the-point instructions.
Whatever you say, slow-witted troll…………
Anyways, it still makes no sense to say “Press for green man” as “green man” alone means nothing. If this was in the US, something more intelligent like “Press to cross” would be on the sign.
And quit hating on America, Troll.
*shuns Steve Austin*
Why, when America is so happy to poke fun at the rest of the world?
Sorry, but this is pretty poor Engrish.
I hope your talking about the picture, and not trying to call comment engrish.
*pulls out the shuning hammer*
Shun has 1 n,
Shunning has 2.
*ding*
Well played.
Must call the mother ship.
It’s a green man dispenser!
rofl this is from my country: Singapore
I would expect to find this in Philladelphia.
Where’s it’s always sunny.
Haha, I totally thought of the same thing. Charlie would be proud!
Same. This is a post name fail.
“Cheap Blue Man Group knock off”
Bad.
This is what I thought too. I’m disappointed that there aren’t more comments about this because, “everybody loves Greenman!”
GREENMAN!
With a comma, this would make totally sense.
Press, for green man.
Press for, green man.
Press for green, man.
Hmmm, no sense detected.
Don’t Press for Green, Man! That’s conformist, Man! Strike a blow for the people, Man!
Hey! There’s a green man! D@mn, where’s the press when you need them?!
Flatten the S. O. B. !!!
SOBS
Don’t steel my words, man, or I’ll get the coppers!
As long as you’re not one of those people steeling the coppers.
It’s not physically possible to steel coppers!
OK, so maybe it is, but it would be ionic to find someone doing it anyways!
If someone did, they probably would use an ionic method.
How about copping a feeler?
Har Har Har!
Cute, quirky, oddball, silly, etc., but NOT Engrish.
DIE TROLL!!! *kills np, then throws him into a toilet*
What, oh, hey, not again… fair go, here, clutter up someone else’s yard with your corpses!
*throws np’s body into jinxed’s yard*
I think the woman in the pic is resting, clearly having had a long day of green-man pushing.
Behind every green man, there’s a woman.
And that’s why the green man is green. He’s jealous of the woman. A natural consequence, I say.
I think she’s been pushing him so hard, he became nauseous. Also a natural consequence.
I think you’re both right.
It couldn’t possibly mean the green-colored man that is internationally known as the “it’s safe to walk now” symbol
Sorry. I’ve never had occasion to walk internationally.
I have, once… across the Rainbow Bridge, Niagara Falls. (No, not the one with the happy puppies and kitties on the other side!) Was faster than driving.
I’ve heard about that Rainbow Bridge – I’m a bit worried, to tell you the truth. There’ll be a number of dogs, a cat, a couple of horses and some lizards there waiting for me. It’s going to be bedlam.
I have, in several countries!
Free alien invasion/ Leprechaun siting!
slash me press button for a green mans then watching them plays music on the pipes off the PVC.
I lovings green man group.
(reads the title)
Aww. someones already hads make the joke.
*begins panting* Why does Orens turns me ons?
Possibly, you’re cracked.
It’s not engrish if it makes sense.
This crowd’s mission is to exploit all possible nonsense.
Green man – a blue man who isn’t ripe yet.
Heh. Betcha a Blue Man is pretty ripe by evening’s end, with all that blue paint covering his pores and having to jump around hitting things to make a living!
Coupla days- beeeooodiful!
(Sorry guys, Aussie ref)
I no complain…
I’ve seen this in person as well. The “green man” is the equivalent of the walk signal in Singapore. In a way, this is a fail, because English is an official language of Singapore.
Warning: friendliness not guaranteed. Recommended to have an Aes Sedai nearby.
You guys should travel more. Not everyone sucks down burgers and fries like you. And not every sign and symbol the world has to follow your tight-assed standards.
If you find you do not understand the message, it may not be engrish, it’s just that you should ask an adult for assistance when crossing a road.
Similarly, perhaps you should ask an adult, preferably one who understands that not every word on the whole wide Internet is serious, to help you when you are using it in future?
Yes indeed. Now please go out and play in the traffic.
*runs into the middle of the freeway*
Example A.
I love traveling and would do more could I afford it.
I don’t eat burgers or fries.
The ass for my standards is so loose it’s embarrassing, even for me. I guess an ass is just an ass, and I can’t expect too much.
Q?
I was trying to be insulting without really being insulting. It’s difficult to do.
Actually, I was saying “ass” in french, so I was agreeing “avec toi”.
*shuns turn1* Quitting being prejudice, quit being a troll, and get the heck out of here. We all know what the sign is trying to say, and we are also saying that it makes no sense no-the-less.
And not everyone hates America, but you know what, perhaps some of us DO have the intelligence to realize that sometimes things are posted on the internet to be laughed at.
I find it funny that it’s more the citizens of countries that hate America more than the countries themselves.
Can someone post some signs with ‘Pirates’ mistakenly printed on? I’m getting bored with these lame posts.
And who exactly is keeping you prisoner here amidst these boring, lame posts? There’s a great big internet out there, and as far as I know, no one is keeping you here, unless your identical twin “turn1″ is holding you hostage.
Ok, but I’m wondering where the green woman is.
It is internationally known to everyone except stupid burger-snorting Americans that women are not allowed to cross streets in most countries of the world. You need to go to some countries and cross some streets, like today! If you’re a man, that is. American woman, stay away from mee-eeeh. American woman, you can’t cross my stree-eets!
JohnB, that is so yesterday… the woman precedes the man across the street now, if not for the mines, as least to slow the traffic. It’s much safer for the guy that way.
From what I hear, in many countries the person who gets to cross first is the one wired with explosives.
*snorts burger*
American women, who now serve on the undefinable front lines of the wars we have, may think otherwise.
“Green man” is used instead of “crossing light” in many European countries. Even traffic safety ads etc say “Only cross when the green man is showing”, rather than “only cross with the crossing light” or whatever. If you said “crossing light” instead of “green man” here you’d probably get some funny looks.
I recall a joke in a British comedy show about the instruction “Do not cross when the green man is flashing”. The mental picture is hilarious. Pickle surprise?
hey that’s singapore. EPIC FAIL!
Where is Charlie from Always Sunny in Philadelphia when you need him?
It’s from my country… The ‘fine’ city, Singapore!
This sign can be seen on most of our pedestrian lights.
And LTA is the Land Transport Authority. The government agency in charge of our roads, vehicles, etc.
I’m sure I’ve seen this somewhere…oh yes its in Singapore(not the ghost town) I live there!
Green man= walk
Red man= stop
Um……….
Where is the Engrish? I don’t see it.
I’ve been reading these comments trying to work out why such a straightforward, simple to understand sign is Engrish.
Aha, now I know why – in the US you don’t use the green man. Pretty well the only country that doesn’t use the green man.
But now I’m trying to work, out why Jinxed says that I HATE AMERICA because I understand the sign and he doesn’t… can you the reader tell me what other things I shouldn’t do? I don’t want to be an America Hater by accident!
We take the simple and straightforward and make it less so.
Good luck with that. jinxed confuses me too.
This is common in English speaking countries (mainly the UK), so I don’t get the Engrish here? Oh wait, Americans don’t wait for the green man, they have “walk” and “dont walk” and jay-walk anyway.
Every family member we have is a jay-walker Nazi! They ALL honk and glare at jay-walkers! It is funny to watch the people jump when they hear the horn…..
No Engrish here. The green man means walk. You press a button to set of a sequence that changes the light from a red man (don’t walk) to a green man.
In the land of the stupid – where walk/don’t walk and stop/go are just too complicated …. with hour school system will need them here soon
(here we already have ‘speaky’ crosswalk ‘traffic’ lights (wait, wait, walk, walk, don’t walk don’t walk … wait………) SoCal – of course soon we’ll have to have them in multiple languages so it’ll be red again before you found your language.
It means to press the button for the Green Man light to flash, indicating the right to cross. In that country, the Green Man is automatically associated with the green light for crossing.
Technically, if you don’t press the button, the light won’t flash so as to avoid unnecessary disruption of traffic. Therefore, “Press for Green Man”!
Oh and by the way, those signs aren’t around anymore. LTA wised up to accommodate foreigners.
That’s from SINGAPORE
SHUT UP ASSES. IM FROM SINGAPORE AND IT SIMPLY MEANS ‘PRESS THE BUTTON,WAIT, [GREEN MAN FLASHES ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT] AND THEN CROSS.’
MOST OF THE COMMENTS HERE ARE INSULTING TO SINGAPOREANS, SO THIS IS HIGHLY UNFAIR. IT IS LIKE SAYING ‘AMERICANS ARE HAIRY IDIOTS’ OR ‘CHINESE ARE STUPID’. THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR COMMENT MIGHT AFFECT OTHERE.
