Q: Best english T-shirts you've seen Chinese people wearing ??

I'm sure we've all seen it numerous times. A random person walking down the street wearing a t-shirt with English text on it that either makes no sense or is pretty hilarious and the person wearing it has no idea what the shirt actually says.

 

What are some of the more funny ones you've seen.

 

I'll get it started... I saw an old man at the subway station one day wearing a black shirt with a huge whit font that said  "MONEY OVER BITCH!".  Another time I saw a toddler wearing a shirt that said "Drunk".

  There's a shop round the corner from me with a t-shirt showing Bob Dylan's face and above it it says 'All through counterpart of a backward situation' which is obviously unintentional Chinglish nonsense, and with anyone else's face it would be crap, except seeing as it's Bob Dylan, it kind of fits. I'm thinking of buying it.

I imagine the one I saw was the first half of a joke and they forgot to print the punch line.

 

"I used to practice piano"

 

I subtly checked to see if there were any wrinkles in the guys shirt where the rest of the text could have been hiding but I didn't find anything else front or back.

One of my favorites too. Always wondered the reaction if you tried talking to her about it, seeing most Chinese don't have a clue what is written in English.

"I'm a virgin. (This is an old shirt)"

 

True story. A beginning student was wearing it and I have no idea if she knew what it meant.

Lol. Some nice ones here. Have kinda stopped paying attention but saw one a few years ago in Shenzhen. An ayi walking past a wetmarket and it said on her shirt "Sell the kids for crack". I wasn't sure whether to laugh or give a salute to whoever slipped that in to the designer's "ENGLISH PHRASES TO USE" catalogue.

From several years ago, I always remember a young girl sitting opposite me wearing a t-shirt with "SUCK ON THESE" printed across the front. I gather she had no idea of the meaning.

I saw an 8 year old with a sweater that just said "Smokin Fags" with no picture or other words to give the phrase context. I mean, that can be taken to mean any number of things but none of them are appropriate for an 8 year old.
