Sayings and phrases tend to find their way into fashion – be it printed on shirts, hats, bags – you name it! In countries where English is not the official language, it is common to find “fashionable” attire adorned with English phrases. The only problem is, they don’t always make sense…read on to find out more about fashionable English words!
Fashionable English Words
In many countries where English is not the first language, it is often fashionable for people to wear T-shirts and other types of clothing featuring English words that may impress the non-native speaker.
But often these words are grouped together in such a way that they don’t make sense. In some cases this lack of a message can actually be quite amusing. Below are several such examples found in a Japanese clothing store.
In the photo to the right, the words on this shirt “Water on the thirstry (thirsty) soil” are an example of how spelling errors take away from the intended message.
6 Funny and Fashionable English Words and Phrases
World Difference Execute
As opposed to this random combination of words which does not yield any meaning,
“World Difference Execute“
Flower Aroma Tour
On the other hand, I’m really not sure what this poetic grouping of words is getting at,
“Flower Aroma Tour I Found You At Last”
“The world which it sounds like if it listens and that the melody to add warmth gradually is innocent“.
Much Like Hold
A nice, positive combination, but what does it mean?
“Much Like Hold” as opposed to “Less Hate Let Go”
Don’t Choice A Wicked Want Funny!
Although there may have been good intentions, there is no sensible meaning that can be attributed to this combination of words,
“Don’t Choice A Wicked Want Funny“?
Best Smile Again
But the phrase on this T-shirt “Best Smile Again” does make one smile again after all!
Precise Dwarf Bravery
If one wants to be precise I’m not sure they can dwarf bravery…
“Precise Dwarf Bravery” although precise dwarfs may exhibit bravery
