Great idea! I’ll go along with that! Let’s see what we can come up with in future posts.
Have you got any personal favourites from “The Meaning Of Liff”? I tend to use Vancouver, Scrabster or Kentucky on appropriate occasions.
Nempnett Thrubwell: the feeling experienced when driving off for the very first time on a brand new motorbike.
Throcking: the act of continually pushing down on the leverl of a pop-up toaster in the hope that you will get it to understand that you wish it to toast something.
Melton Constable: an anti-wrinkle cream that policemen use to keep themselves looking young.
We’ve spotted the fox. Release the hounds. Cinch your cinches. We want the horse, saddle, and rider landing as one upright unit after jumping fences and streams.
Girths, PG, girths – if we’re hunting, we’re riding English/European, in which case the saddle is held in place by a girth. If we were riding Western it would be a cinch. You definitely do not want to try jumping anything in a Western saddle, that pommel will unman you, if not disembowel you. These things are teddibly important, tally ho, pip pip and all that, what – I say, have hounds spotted something? Oh, look, they’ve scented an unemployed person, view holloah! Oh dear, will someone take the sherry away from the pony club contingent, they know perfectly well they’re supposed to have lemonade as a stirrup cup, wretched little blighters… come on then, a harmless animal needs to be torn to shreds, have at it!
Simple physics. There is the acceleration vectors of the running horse and roped cow, the momentum vector of the cowboy, and the overwhelming inertia acceleration vector of gravity.
I’m sorry. I use the western terminology after I got slapped for pointing out that someone had let their girth get too large. The whole sight is more entertaining if the lemonaid is sweetened with rum or triple sec. They keep trying to save weight by substituting straight lemon juice and gin.
I found the greatest laptop holder that attaches to the pommel. It also has side shades to keep the horse from trying to read the postings instead of watching the road.
HEY!! Your damn dogs just spilt ‘n ate all of my spongy squirrel camp stew. I’ve been working on that all day, gettin’ it just right. Umm, could you spare me a dram or two of that gin ‘n lemon? Or lime if’n you got it. I need it to clean these dog bites on my left behind, medicinal purposes only, y’know.
Oh dear, I’m afraid that if anyone refers to hounds as “dogs”, that person immediately takes the place of the fox. Go on, then, we’ll give you a bit of a head start. If you could avoid the larger hedges we’d be grateful, because Jocasta Uppington-Self is with us today on Worthington Inbred Lunatic III, and the damned animal just keeps running straight through the hedges (we did have a lighter moment when he tried it with a hedge that had a barbed wire fence through the middle of it though, talk about laugh). Lord Grating-Chinlesswonder will be furious… Here, have a nice gin & lime before you go; sometimes we try to get the quarry drunk, because hounds occasionally like their meat well marinated.
Good boys, fetch the squirrel’s head. over there. Tug of war. Get the tail. into the river. get the head, into the river. Goood boys. I got to catch a coal train.
Well, one of the most significant parts of English culture and history is the good ol’ fox hunt. I have no idea what “gramer” is meant to signify, though.
Accomplished fox hunters are directly inducted into the mounted cavalry. It is important that their composition and gramer is correct in their dispatches from their pommel mounted pc’s. They are a black ops intelligence unit only known as the Type Riders.
Sorry, Try again. I hate repeating jokes when I flubbed a punch line.

I can make it work, but he moderators intermittantly kill them with no rhyme or reason. It makes me look stupider than I was trying for when the link is blank. I think it depends on the time of day. I tried to post instructions and they got moderated. Trolls, s#x, hate speech, and chipmunk on helium Fred videos get posted…..
I don’t Do side-saddle – riding astride is really the best way to keep your balance as you lean over to clonk someone with the sherry decanter on the way past.
Or Hebrew. Or Farsi. Or Kurdish. Or Turkish. Or Pashto. Or Afghani. Or Tatar. Or Kazahk. Or Uzbek. Hell, you might even want to repeat it in Esperanto.
We’re trying to neuter them, hoping they’ll mate with other trolls (who else would have them?) and eventually wipe out the breed. A bit like the boffins are doing with fruit flies, another organism with a similar IQ.
Fruit flies happen to be a very useful model for teaching or investigating the basics of Mendelian genetics, whereas trolls have absolutely no useful function at all. Stop defaming Drosophila.
I have a 12 year old about to enter 7th grade that probably think that the spelling is correct on that document. Thank you “No Child Left Behind” Act!!
Is 101 Reeding and Speeling then?
Looking at the other script (Arabic?) 101 would need to be Bassic Alfabit.
No. Obviously spelling doesn’t come till much later.
No, probably “Gray mare riding with engrish saddle”.
We have more words than 102 words!!
Too bad we don’t actually use them when communicating on the internet.
English Riding 103 includes dressage and show jumping.
Also hunting, tentpegging, and my personal favourite, hacking.
At least we now know why there are so many other Engrish pictures.
Check out meaning #2 for “gramer” here & see why!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gramer
…That would explain a lot, actually (win for you, finding that definition).
Thanks! I never shy away from googling ANY strange word that appears in Engrish. Some of them get hits.
The ones that don’t, we should make it our business to assign them meanings, in the spirit of “The Meaning Of Liff”.
Great idea! I’ll go along with that! Let’s see what we can come up with in future posts.

Yes, I think this is a positive sign of Engrish security!
is that a class ?
No, it’s probably a klace.
We should give them a break. It can be rather difficult to spell properly while riding. Depending, of course, on what one is riding at the time…
A Harei Davehong!
We’ve spotted the fox. Release the hounds. Cinch your cinches. We want the horse, saddle, and rider landing as one upright unit after jumping fences and streams.
John Freeman ramped off the building and did a backflip and landed.
John Freeman went off road and did backflips and landed on back wheels but kept going too.
Apparently this class is also offered in Canada.
Oh lord. No matter how old it gets, it’s hard not to laugh at Squirrelking and Peter Chimaera.

If Western riding’s a cinch, why do cowboys fall off their horses?

I tried jumping something in a Western saddle once, but I got pommeled.
It was pretty unmanning, too!
just be careful where you put your lasso and your saddlebag.
And keep a watch on the dangling modifier while typing.
‘0′
Sooooo, this is the real reason they Can’t speak proper English. That means this class is the blind leading the blind(figuratively speaking of course)
Class, get out and lead the horse and tow the duck blind into position. Don’t let the English saddle get wet.
Mummy, Mummy, I’ve got mud on the Kieffer! Oh, send the groom out to clean it, do!
Mummy, Mummy, I’ve got mud on the Kieffer! Oh, send the groom out to clean it, do! (I say, Tarquin, is there any more of that sherry left?)
Does the mud stay there for 24 hours?
KIEFFER, you nong, KIEFFER, not Kiefer. If it does, we’ll have the groom flogged. That saddle is worth more than he is.
I tuk these curse
Mea two! I tuk these curse an naw i cann speeck an ride wheath English ferry spilling gud an gramer.
*gasp!*
Teh Lolcats sudinlee maek sew much moar cents!
So, is the lolcat curse contagious? Possibility of punctuation pandemic?
Demic in a pan? Whut neckst???
A gue in a pla?
Tion in a fect… no, wait, that sounds like a hip hop song.
Why is it that it’s always English dictionaries and tutorials, which are supposed to use proper English, which always end up on EngrishFunny?
Because these are the sources of Engrish!
Y’all shore this isn’t s’posed to say “GROOMER” and Riding? Like some kinda klass of an Arubik ITT Tek?
Kaint wayt ’til English 201, wer we lerns hwo ta bee a Far-rear and klurk typissed.
Floor wateriness!
Beware the hoof!
Never fear. You in “female only” toilet, getting refreshed.
Let’s hear it for the peculiarities of English phonetics. I= ee in most Romance European languages, don’t know about Arabic.

I posted that link yesterday, but I could use a clue on how to embed links. They look better that way.
I can make it work, but he moderators intermittantly kill them with no rhyme or reason. It makes me look stupider than I was trying for when the link is blank. I think it depends on the time of day. I tried to post instructions and they got moderated. Trolls, s#x, hate speech, and chipmunk on helium Fred videos get posted…..
Maybe I’m going blind. You flubbed what? That’s a good joke; beware of DPH Fairies riding side-saddle!
I don’t Do side-saddle – riding astride is really the best way to keep your balance as you lean over to clonk someone with the sherry decanter on the way past.
You just passed Bandit Keith. Want to borrow my claymore, or M18a1?
Somebody “passed” Bandit Keith? Guess where my pun-sodden mind went with that comment. Most appropriate!
Nah, I’ll do this up close and personal. Hand me that other decanter, the lead glass one that’ll break and give me a nice razor sharp edge.
Before you go swinging a sword, have you checked your girth lately?
I’m sorry, could you repeat that in Arabic?
Or Hebrew. Or Farsi. Or Kurdish. Or Turkish. Or Pashto. Or Afghani. Or Tatar. Or Kazahk. Or Uzbek. Hell, you might even want to repeat it in Esperanto.
What are you two doing feeding the trolls?
We’re trying to neuter them, hoping they’ll mate with other trolls (who else would have them?) and eventually wipe out the breed. A bit like the boffins are doing with fruit flies, another organism with a similar IQ.
Fruit flies happen to be a very useful model for teaching or investigating the basics of Mendelian genetics, whereas trolls have absolutely no useful function at all. Stop defaming Drosophila.
And there’s always the “dross” connection….
Ah, Drosophila melanogaster… Takes me back to my days in the lab… The sweet smell of formaldehyde, the sound of shattering glassware…
…releasing the flies only to be told that we were supposed to keep them so that the next class could count them too…
They’d have it easy, then.
Uhhhh, zero.
That kinda skews our whole graph, now don’t it?
Apparently, English 101 is for the language, don’t know what English 102 is for…
I have a 12 year old about to enter 7th grade that probably think that the spelling is correct on that document. Thank you “No Child Left Behind” Act!!
