I just have to pull this one up as I was reading this thread, because, I too thought it was "Wrapped up like a douche" but then, "you know the rumor in the night!"Quote:

And, this thread made me go take a recent look at Engrish.com...and I just howled. What a great site.
This thread is hilarious! The bank where I stopped to use the ATM had two signs in the drive-through:
"We will be closed on Monday in observance of Labor Day" and "We will be open Tuesday in observance of Labor Day" Huh?
Mnay of you will appreciate the handout I used a few semesters ago with a warning to my students that papers submitted in, as we say Engrish, will be graded accordingly!
So what are they really saying? I also thought it was "wrapped up like a douche"!Quote:

It makes perfect sense...***** cats, cows, any other animal you could imagine were all featured in his commercials. As an adult, I learned that what they were really saying was "Go See Cal," not "***** Cow."
So.... here's summat I picked up on a blog -
sorry link to pic not working...
"smart noshery makes you slobber".
yep.
You are not alone - I NEVER could figure out why douches figured so prominently in a song....Quote:

We did meet. I asked him what "non-eecky" meant. He said he was trying to reassure me that he was "not icky". Not a creep. Except. That he turned out to be a creep. We had a nice first date, made a date to see each other again, which he canceled by email at midnight the night before. Then, 3 months later, he sends an email begging my forgiveness, telling me he'd been in a horrible car crash, and was recovering...I had my doubts, but wrote him back. "When", I asked, "was this accident?" Two weeks ago. Oh, you mean 2.5 months after you blew me off? You Sir, are EECKY! :p
ah, so when they say EEKY, they are ICKY.
good to know!
EEEK!
I guess non-eeky means you won't scream in fright when you see him.
Non-icky means you won't puke.
i ride by the "integrity free school" on my way to church.
Oh dear.Quote:
