    I was thinking of getting 何か日本語で “nanika nihongo de” and if someone would ask me what it meant I’d say “something in Japanese”

    In Wales road signs are printed in both English and Welsh. When a new sign was being made someone sent the English part to a translator, who’s out of office message was in Welsh. They assumed that message was the translation and printed it on the sign.

    Not a translation error but the worst tattoo I ever saw on someone was a guy with a bloody tampon tramp stamp.

      bloody tampon tramp stamp

      “bloody” as in bloody idiot, or “bloody” as in black pudding?

            Considering the specific context, that’s what makes it very not-so-ambiguous.

            And I’m sure folks that identify a specific way would also agree.

            Plus, the OP confirmed it. 🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️

              So I went looking to find out what you’re talking about, and I came up with nothing. So linky with the op comment confirming what they meant.

              There are plenty of snarky things I could say. I refrain from being the ass I’d like, you haven’t proven to deserve it.

                I was not at all trying to be snarky in any possible way. I guess I should have been more clear in saying what I really meant: women would probably understand this more clearly than others. My apologies if I seemed like I was trying to upset you in anyway. Tone is weird through text.

                But here’s the confirmation: https://feddit.uk/comment/12718867
