    FIRST!

  2. webatomico says:

    My house is my house
    …and “ya me canse de la pinche cocina” (i’m tired of the fu·$ing kitchen)

    • cest says:

      Entonces, mi casa es mi casa pero la cocina es tuya.

      • webatomico says:

        mi casa es mi casa y te sales de mi pinche cocina tambien

        • Mike says:

          I have a theory that aalot of these bad translations are the fault of Yahoo babelfish.

          So I just checked, and Yahoo Babelfish translator does in fact translste “Mi casa es su casa” as “my house is my house”.

          Win for me!

          • Mike says:

            It also translates “Pinche” as “puntures” or as “damned” depending on the context… which makes sense. I wonder what they were going for there.

            I have way too much time on my hands.

            …I just checked, Yahoo Babelfish translates “Mi casa es su casa” as “My house is its house”.

            o_O

              • JohnB says:

                I just had Babel fish translate “Mi casa es su casa,” and got, “The carnival barker is flatulent on Monday.”

                • del_sol says:

                  Babelfish is FUN.

                  “The carnival barker is flatulent on Monday.” –> French –>

                  “L’aboyeur de carnaval est flatulent le lundi.” –> Greek

                  “L’ ο κράχτης του καρναβαλιού είναι φυσσώδης η Δευτέρα.” –> English

                  “L’? the barker of carnival is fyssodis Monday.”

                  Yup.

                  • JohnB says:

                    Oh, yes! I have loads of fun with it. Take, for example, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,” and translate that into Japanese and back, and you get, “Do I how love thee? Me permit the fact that it counts method.” I doubt that line would get me very far…

                    • ObscureWittyReference says:

                      “Me permit the fact that it counts method” – Shakespeare’s job is still secure.

                      • JohnB says:

                        I’m afraid the original was Elizabeth Barrett Browning, whose job is undoubtedly as secure as the Bard’s, since she has also been dead many years now. Being dead does offer the advantage of considerable job security…

                  • Alice says:

                    Oh, my nipples explode with delight!

                    • JohnB says:

                      Translate that to and from Traditional Chinese, and you get, “Oh, my nipple explodes delightedly by!” Not too far off, actually, but the thought of your nipple shooting past me, delightedly or not, is a bit of a turnoff!

                  • Alice says:

                    I am a cow->chinese (traditional)
                    我牛->English
                    I bovine.

      • William says:

        pinches mexicanos, larguense de mi casa, porque no es mi casa, es MI casa.

        • Oievey says:

          “Mexican kitchen boys, larguense of my house, because it is not my house, is MY house.”

          This is a product of Babel Fish of course, but um really? Very interesting.

  3. Grrr Power says:

    Where can I order these? :D

  4. ObscureWittyReference says:

    You’re welcome to come in … but MY house, MY rules!

  5. Cucaracha says:

    Foreclosure fail?

  6. Chango Leon says:

    And nobody seems to notice that the piece on the top right says “I am tired of the fucking kitchen.”

    • xechosx says:

      Comment fail. See five threads up. We all noticed.

    • JohnB says:

      I’d suggest either doing some cooking in the kitchen for a change, or perhaps doing the f-ing in the bedroom. F-ing in the kitchen can get old, as there are only so many places to do it, and most of them are rather hard on the back.

  7. jmuhj says:

    *WE LIVE HERE. YOU SHOULDN’T*

  8. Lark says:

    I don’t see how this is Engrish. My house IS my house. >.<

    • Alination says:

      Actually… LOL, but at least you can focus on the other “I’m tired of the freakin’ kitchen” stuff.

    • Jane St.Clair says:

      Because it is still a mistranslation of Mi casa es su casa.

      • MI comentario es MI comentario says:

        FAIL.
        it’s on purpose.

        • Failtruza says:

          And you know that because…

          • turu says:

            ’cause the one above says “I’m tired of the f*cking kitchen” so you can assume they’re supposed to be jokes… hence, it’s on purpose ^^

            • Jane St.Clair says:

              That’s still an awful large assumption that it was done on purpose, especially since it’s not exactly a hilarious joke. What the intent was is beside the point; it’s STILL an incorrect translation of the one next to it.

              • tera says:

                there is more:

                the one in the middle right says ” I’m up to here, of the kitchen”
                I cant really think a bad word that fits but it basically says that.

                the middle left “I dont admit animals” or trans…literally “animals not admitted” the latter is a little more correct since this is meant to be offensive.

                so yeah I guess they know, and they’re jokes.

                now if they would of translated bien venidos as good arriving that would of been funny.

              • MI comentario es MI comentario says:

                there are plenty Mi casa es mi casa quaint memorablila around. My mom has one. ITS A JOKE. you know, like the door mats that say GO AWAY. there is humor in other latitudes you know.
                jeebus!

                • Mike says:

                  if that’s what they were doing here, then wouldn’t it say that in Spanish too? it says “Mi casa es su casa”, which means “my house is your house”.

                  If it was a joke, wouldn’t it say “Mi casa es mi casa”, so that it said the same thing in English, as it dies in Spanish?

  9. kelly says:

    look at the plate on the upper right it’ says somethiong like “welcome…to the fuckin kitchen!” … (de la pince cocina)

  10. Obligated (that's what it said to put..) says:

    Some dork American (like, my family) is going to buy that “pinche cocina” one and put it up in their kitchen thinking it’s quaint and novel.

    And I will laugh my arse off.

  11. dr handle says:

    There was a hardware shop down the street from me that used to do a fine line of “bugger off” door mats – I bought two, but they were both pinched. If they’d done kitsch plaques saying “I’m tired of the fucking kitchen”, I’d've bought one of those two. Preferably one with the text in neon lighting.

    • ObscureWittyReference says:

      Apparently the mats need to clarify that they should bugger off without the mats. Or perhaps the mats buggered off on their own?

  12. I'm the chief says:

    you’re damn right my house is my house!
    *pulls out a shotgun*

  13. fidra says:

    Actually, I’d like the plaque that says, “My House is MY house. “

  14. Obligated says:

    I want to send Obama one that says “MY MONEY IS MY MONEY….. PUNK!”.

    And one that says “ya me canse del pinche burro en la Casa Blanca”

    • MI comentario es MI comentario says:

      stfu.

      el unico burro era el estupido de bush que apenitas sabia leer.

      • Obligated says:

        Bush era perezoso y tonto, pero Obama es demoníaco.

        ¿cuál es peor?

        • MI comentario es MI comentario says:

          bush era demoniaco. poseido por el demonio, por el demonio de su padre y de cheney. Y bush te robo mucho mas dinero del que obama podra. El burro eres tu por no darte cuenta.

  15. hcw says:

    I so want to buy this. My Grandmother, from Glasgow, I don’t think was too fond of children. Whenever we would visit she would always say, “Make yourself at home, where you should be.” It took me to almost adulthood to realize that was not a traditional Scottish greeting. (Or maybe it was). I want that on a plaque too.

    • ObscureWittyReference says:

      If you ever find one, get me one too. (I don’t have children. I do, however, love them … because at the end of the day they all go home to someone else.)

  16. dr_handle says:

    Is that Spanish or Portuguese? I’m thinking I’d like to cross-stitch that to hang in my kitchen. With some lovely flowers. And pictures of happy vegetables.

    • dr_handle says:

      Der, the “I’m sick of the $*%&ing kitchen” – I want to cross stitch that and hang it in the kitchen. With some lovely flowers. And pictures of a happy vegetable. Any maybe a rabbit with a carving knife stuck in its head.

      • dr_handle says:

        Maybe I will get an actual rabbit, then stick it to the cross-stitch of lovely flowers and happy vegetables by pinning it to the wall via a carving knife shoved through its head.

    • It’s Spanish. Mexican Spanish to be more exact.

  17. Stuff like that says:

    My house it’s MINE! ONLY MINE! GTFO!

  18. CharonPDX says:

    For the standard foreign stereotype of Americans, that might very well be an on-purpose choice of words. :-P

  19. Seeeks says:

    My house is my house – as are the stuff in it. It’s a traditional Ferengi greeting. Maybe who ever painted that is a Trekkie. Also I may have soiled my pants laughing at some of the comments.

  20. AussieEvil says:

    “As are its contents.”

  21. lymari says:

    Its supposed to say My house is your house.

  22. Oievey says:

    Wow, I’m so glad I came here.. I messed with the “I am tired of the fucking kitchen” line in babel, and ended up with “I am tired fucking of the kitchen.”

  23. Richard says:

    jeez – is that what they’ve been saying to us all these years??
