Dunno. It's too late in my life to learn Chinese, so I'll skip it. I have a few phrases in Hmong, since I have Hmong neigbors and I like to say polite things to the old grandmother who putters in her garden.
My favorite tatoos are the tramp stamps I see everywhere I go on the pretty young things. I don't care about the tatoo, but I love seeing their sacral dimples. They make me feel all nice in my britches.

We have a Chinese Teacher here at school..
one day a kid came in showing off his brand new tattoo.
Sam (Yup his name is Sam) asked him why he would want THAT on his arm.. the Kid replied...."Hey I'm a BADA$$ and I want everyone to know !!!!"
Sam said "Well you may think your a BadA$$ but your Tattoo says "DUMBA$$"

In Pinyin "English" would be written as: Yingguowen and pronounced more like Yin-gow-wen, which roughly translates to Hero Land Talk. So if you want an equivalent to "Engrish" try "Yingruowen".

p.s. America is Meiguo aka "Pretty Land", and France is Faguo...draw your own conclusions on France.....it certainly is easy to remember.
