What is engrish?

Inside joke by bilingual speakers of English and Japanese.

Intentionally bad parodies of English exploited for comic effect for an intended audience of bilingual Japanese / English speakers.

Examples:

The comedy skit "Tokyo Breakfast", a train wreck between Engrish and Ebonics which lampoons American and Japanese pop culture.

"Taksetawah", a Japanese-sounding name which is actually a tongue-in-cheek criticism -- in Engrish -- of the extravagant expense of the Tokyo Metropolitan building: "Tax Tower".

What does "engrish" mean?

Mispronounced or mis-translated English words which are included in Japanese songs, signs etc. They sound so funny ;)

And the reverse goes for the word Japperese

Gackt's funnyness:

In Engrish: "Siwent naight, howly naight, shehpar krake ah da side"

In English: "Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight"


And Miyavi's song words:

"How simple eat in get? Don't you?"

Engrish

Engrish is the slang term for Japanese to English translations gone horribly wrong, and the results are often extremely funny

Engrish: "Gives you strong mouth and refreshing wind"

What they meant to say: "Gives you a healthy mouth and fresh breath"
