Bad Translations for JDM Gear

Featured Replies

I have sort of made it point that when I look at or purchase new stuff from overseas, I read the package or descriptions to see what's on it. It can actually can be pretty funning sometimes.  I know some words do not translate well and they are trying their best so I take it with a grain of salt and just laugh.

 

Have you guys found any good ones lately? 

 

Here is one I found when looking at the new Daiwa Exist SF. 

 

If you don't mind being misunderstood, you're not an honor student. While inheriting EXIST's philosophy, there is no common sense there. One point breakthrough instead of versatile. Aiming for super finesse beyond finesse.

 

 

I have read a few that were comical.  I may have an immature sense of humor- I chuckle when I read 'green pumpkin chart'.  If I rip a green pumpkin chart, I'm throwing my underwear away 

The absolute best "bad translations" come from aliexpress. 

 

I have a screen shot of a shoe insole that boasts

"The feeling of stepping in sh**" I would post it but I suspect the mods would disapprove.

Goliath Grouper of course.

 

Not a translation error but I order a bunch of skirt tabs from the manufacturer in China. When it came in the Post Office didn't deliver it and asked me to come there. The Postal Inspector said he needed me to open the box to see what's inside? They brought the box out then I understood their concern. The box was wrapped up just the ones you see in drug seizures on TV. After I opened it up and they saw no drugs we all had a good laugh about it. Told them I have my overseas drug packages delivered by FedEx.
