    All your snatch are belong to me

  3. almoore says:

    UR doing it wrong, that’s not her snatch.

  4. laconejita says:

    Warning:

    Transvesti men are in need of purses. If you happen to have a flashy, colorful one, you are in danger.

  5. coyoteman says:

    To snatch something is to grab it quickly – as a pickpocket or purse stealer would do.

    • Hebime says:

      Yes, but the phrase ’snatch thief’ isn’t something a native speaker of English would say.
      It’s not Engrish, but rather English Fail, and is thus actually funny.

      • Queen o' sarcasm says:

        well slap my fro!

      • mizzy n says:

        then, what would be the proper word for a thief who snatch handbags?

      • toilet shark says:

        The unintended double entendre here definitely makes this Engrish. If you can’t get in touch with The Puerile 10-Year-Old Within, you cannot appreciate this site to its full potential.

      • MossMan says:

        It *is* a real English phrase, as it happens. In fact, I had to think hard about what was supposed to be funny when I saw this picture.

        In most of the ex-British-colonies, such as Malaysia where this sign probably is, they tend to use slightly old-fashioned British English such as this. I had to look up “hawker” when I first heard about all the “hawker centres” in Singapore…

    Just hanging on for the ride…

  7. toilet shark says:

    Could this possibly be an advert for a public seminar on the topic of the Greek philosophical notion of the wandering vagina, and how it informs attitudes to feminism today? Maybe?

    • blueJade says:

      They wouldn’t use a steel sign for an advert. I think it’s a statement on the feminine/masculine dualism inherent in us all; with the female figure representing the yang, passive principle and the male figure the active yin.

    • MommaC says:

      They have Vagina’s that wander. That sounds much more intersting than the one I have… I want one.. I want a golden wandering snatch now!!! I must steal one, therefore I will be the next snatch thief. Is there such a thing as a serial snatch thief? I are wanting all your snatch!

  8. Loonix says:

    too much information in the title ;)

    • laconejita says:

      It also seems that there appears to be only one thief. One snatch thief instead of thieves. So he must be really good and they haven’t been able to catch him.

  9. commet says:

    Ini bagus sekali

  10. Basara says:

    Or, if the thief goes both ways….

    Carpe Diem Via Testes

  11. Gone_With_The_Wendell says:

    **covers snatch with both hands**

  12. wazup says:

    The weitin is Indonesian

  13. andy says:

    i know its from indonesia or maybe malaysia

  14. Cass says:

    It’s Malaysian, I’m from there.
    I never thought of it in that way, though. :P

    Guess you rediscover things everyday.

  15. Candy says:

    I typed in the google search engine “define:snatch” and thanked the Almighty for da revelation. Ha ha ha!!!

  16. Jimbob TheSonOfGod says:

    Snatch Thieves are a common reference term in south east asian countries.

    Simply because they snatch anything from you not withstanding purses. They would ride motorcycles, ride past you and grab a pearl necklace, purses, handbags etc.

    And no, snatch doesn’t mean a woman’s privates in SEA. Hence the sign. This is nothing more than a post about ignorance.

    • MommaC says:

      Well, I don’t know aboiut the rest of you… but I am properly chastened. (I am wearing my chasten-ty belt right now) Also protects me from snatch thieves. They can no snatch my snatch while I be wearing dis!

    • G. Mecha says:

      Couldn’t agree with you more.

      But then again, this is an American website, so the context would naturally skew towards their culture, lingo etc. No?

  17. dancexdance says:

    I find it insulting and awkward though, because that midget was me
