Inspired by Buzzfeed’s “22 Chinese Signs That Got Seriously Lost In Translation”, we decided to make our own list of hilarious translation fails in China. And yes, there are definitely enough of them for many more such compilations! Check these out, so that if you ever do go to China, you wouldn’t be too surprised about fresh crap in fish tanks and wild germs that hate soup. Oh, and never order the greenstuff!

I wonder what % of sheeple could tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese and Korean?

How is it “sheeple” not to know Asian writings?

That is not what I said.

Sheeple are sheeple. I expect non-sheeple to know who they are. :p Sheeple is a pre-existing designation.

I was wondering how many of them having tatoo’s on their butts that say “Poopoo Kitty” in a foreign language and think it looks cool.

I’ll take a guess. The columns on the left are definitely Korean. The middle columns are Japanese, I would guess and the columns on the right are Chinese, I presume.

Eat your peas.


Or was it ‘take this cuke, ALL of it!’ or who knows?

I take every laugh where I can get it, these days.
