Where will you put your karate feets this evening?

My friend Matt McGaughey has an amazing facility with languages. Seriously amazing. So when he sends me something regarding the way we word things, I always pay attention. A good example is the link he sent me to what is advertised as “Actual English subtitles used in films made in Hong Kong.”

You can click the link to get the whole list. But here’s a preview of a couple of my favorites:

“Take my advice, or I’ll spank you without pants!”

“Greetings, large black person. Let us not forget to form a team up together soon and go into the country to inflict the pain of our karate feets on some ass of the giant lizard person.”

Sounds about like the kind of restaurant French that I once tried on a Parisian waiter. No wonder he never brought me my coffee.
