Weird funny English

I've found this on the newly redesigned ELT News site :Weird funny English from around the world

Don't miss a single line of it. I was about to die when I read that. :D :D It's even much better than engrish.com, without the pictures.

Hey, this really made me laugh out loud (something that doesn't happen all that often. ;))

The best quotes are those who make sense if taken literally, but really mean something else in practice.

There is a word for phrases like that... and english has lots of them. Does anyone know which word it is?

There really should be a dictionary with such phrases. The only way to pick them up for a non-native speaker is through movies. I still come across new such phrases (even after having seen hundreds of english movies).

Excellent! :cool:
