Some things are universally understood. Most cultures recognize that uttering the word “Huh?” indicates confusion, a dog wagging its tail denotes happiness, and drinking 10 cokes a day will eventually make you gain weight…and turn your teeth into a gummy bear-like consistency.
A recent study showed that only one in four Americans are able to hold a conversation in a language other than English. If that’s the case, you can hardly blame folks in other countries who don’t speak English as their first language for misinterpreting some of the words we commonly use, especially when they’re attempting to create signs for American tourists.
We can’t blame them, no. But we can certainly appreciate the inadvertent hilarity that arises from accidental crap-stick slinging and hand grenade labeling signs.
Huh?
