After years of preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China graciously hosted thousands of people from around the world. However, not every business in China was ready for the massive influx of English-speaking tourists. Here are a few souvenir photos of funny Engrish signs that we’ll never forget.

NERD NOTE: “Engrish” is a slang term for the unintentional misuse of the English language. The term itself relates to how some languages inadvertently swap the English phonemes “R” and “L” for one another, a process known as lallation.

“Turd Baby”: Is this a restaurant? Hopefully, the menu is diaper fresh!!
