It took me too long to understand, but "sissytiffy"? They tried to write CCTV, not having seen it spelled out before I bet. Which usually means Closed Circuit TeleVision, that is, wired in cameras to look at things locally, and not the wireless broadcasting ones you can view remotely. Probably used for the wireless ones too, just because people expect the sissy-tiffy cameras to be the building's security cams that the security personell look at the feeds from.

When on a school trip abroad, the girls in our class got asked "some c0ck for the ladies?" at a restaurant. The server seemed oblivious to the fact that he was pronouncing coke wrong, and was confused by the giggles. Another server apparently overheard him and told him in a low voice next to his ear what he just asked them. He got beet red in the face and made sure to over-pronounce the word coke after that... 😂

2:39 so this one is definitely intentional. Kurtis Conner is a KZbin comedian and this is probably related to one of his videos. No idea what it means though.

[@CodeIndigo]

So, about the Nude Tr*mp sign, I've actually seen that in person! It is less horrifying than it sounds. It's basically a Japanese strip-poker cafe. There are no ex-presidents involved. Japanese uses "Trump" to refer to the standard deck of playing cards, as opposed to hanafuda cards.

[@tovarishchfeixiao]

Ooooo, now that you say. It really sounds like a bad google translate attempt for the word "toranpu".

[@DeerJerky]

so it's basically like a "Trump card," which also has no correlation to the former president

[@00andJoe]

11:30 - if I remember right, the reason all the knockoff Transformers are labeled with "Deformation" is because it's a case of back-translation. The characters that you get when you translate "Transformer" into Chinese can translate back into English as either "Transformation" or "Deformation" - and the latter apparently is the much more common translation. Hence...

[@renegadethesandwing02050]

5:12 knowing Lexi is trans this sentence not only makes more sense but i agree being that im also trans lol (mtf for clarification)

[@koduflower2000]

I laughed at most of them. Great video! And also, can we all agree that Lexi is the best narrator in the video? She explains what each pictures mean. I like it! 😊👍

[@elenaheinrich8485]

5:39 "Clearing horny" makes more sense when you realize that the outermost layer of skin, which is comprised of dead skin cells, is called the stratum corneum, which literally means "horny layer." So this is probably a bad translation of "exfoliates" or something similar.

[@Ro99]

1:29 probably badly translated from a Romance language. I know in French and Spanish you say ‘I have X years’. For example: ‘tengo [age] años’/‘j’ai [age] ans’ (I have [age] years old).

[@Ri_F]

same in portuguese!

[@axelprino]

At least I know what happened with the "he has 38 years" since that's how we say it in Spanish (and other romance languages too I think) so it's clearly a case of translating it literally rather than doing it the proper way. As an aside, I can't believe there's a cat out there that's older than me, wtf?

6:30 The countries that make cheap clothing for the U.S. often just keep leftovers. Like American companies will have shirts made that say "[Sports team] 2023 Champions!" for both teams in the finals, then only import the ones with the actual winners and the rest will get sold off cheap in the country that made them. I would not be surprised if that was a "funny" shirt that got made in the 2000s at the start of the Iraq War (or even in the '90s during Desert Storm) and just never sold.

5:00 "Please we must follow instructions. Remember elders/ancestors once said that unruly children will die from heat(specifically sun)." While I don't know which country specifically, the language does resemble the local ones found throughout the Caribbean or some central and south American countries. I think it's some form of proverb similar(not in meaning but as an example) to "devil finds work for idle hands". As for the meaning, its basically "Listen to instructions/warnings or you could get hurt or die"

Okay, but for that last one: "The soup of Sung" actualy sounds like a nice video game item that gives some cool temporary boosts. You probably unlock being able to buy it from Sung himself after you help him in a side quest or quest line.

[@adamb89]

0:01 According to Google Translate this says "Garbage here, please don't throw it away." Which I think is supposed to mean "Put your trash here, please don't litter." 0:23 That supposedly says "Fresh Fool Fish". Might be something only a Chinese local understands. 1:07 Oh my god that happened to a coworker of mine back in '99! Her and her whole family got kicked out of a buffet with "You been here four hour! You go now! You no come back!" 5:05 Actually that's a Jamaican phrase "Hard ears pickney dead a sun hot," which basically means "you can't teach people who won't listen." 9:30 Google's translation is even weirder than the sign. "For breastfeeding, only for men." I guess men are built different in China. 9:54 That was probably someone screwing around because the translation is just "Keep away from children or pregnant women." 11:20 That translates to "Over 30 years old, no matter how hard it is, you have to understand what is the overall economy." So I think they were trying to be like "Learn Macroeconomics before 30 or die trying." As in, make it a priority. 12:08 Actually that one looks like it translates pretty much accurately. "Don't do your best, but do your best." Um...sure. 12:35 This one is most likely a joke because the very top of the page translates to "Funny menu translation".

[@吳政霖-b9t]

9:30 The correct translation should be: "For breastfeeding only, men are not allowed to enter" 12:08 This statement actually means: "Don't do your best to save, but do your best to achieve. "盡力而為" has negative connotations, often implying "doing your best" when the project has failed or those involved are not enthused.

[@Akaykimuy]

the first one is wrong, it just say's "Do not litter here" i.e. "Do not dump (your trash) here"
