[quote=ICEBLUE,309603]Have you read some Chinglish in China? Chinglish is the mixture of Chinese and English. Chinglish is frequently seen on the menus and road signs when you visit China. Do you feel offended when you see Chinglish road signs? As the Olympics is in the air, China has been trying all the best to eradicate Chinglish from the menus and road signs. Nevertheless, American linguists forecasts that “Chinglish” will thrive at and after Beijing Olympics. Some Chinglish phrases are just offbeat and nonsensical to native Enlish speakers.

The American linguists listed some extremely funny Chinglish as follows:

If you are stolen, call the police. (被盗了，就报警)， 
Airline Pulp (food served aboard airlines) (飞机供餐)
 The slippery are very crafty (slippery when wet) (小心路滑)
Do not climb the rocketry (rock wall) (请勿攀岩)
 Deformed man toilet (handicapped restroom)（残疾人厕所）
 Racist Park(种族主义园)（Ethnic Minorities Park）(民族园)

Do you chance upon other funny Chinglish road signs? Do you feel offended by Chinglish?
