Do Me
March 13th, 2008
A few days ago, I posted about the nice weekend Sachi and I enjoyed, and I mentioned a fun bit of Engrish we saw:
We went home, and I gave Sachi the earrings I got for her main present, then we went off to a very nice restaurant downtown–the Oregon Bar & Grill in Shiodome (unfortunate motto: “Do Me”) City Center in Shinbashi.
To supplement that post, I tried to find some image from the web that had this logo and motto, but couldn’t find anything. Well, I should have been keeping up with Engrish.com, as they had this just a few days before my post:
You’d think that Japan would know by now to vet things like this past native speakers before printing them. We’re not that hard to find, you know.
Oh, my — 「食べる言い訳、”食欲の秋”。これが、わたしのDo。」 「汐留シティーセンターには、いろいろなDoがあります。」 — Quite Engrish. Even sounds like psychos. Did Sachi and you laugh at this when two of you found this? Well, this reminded me of an English expression “Could you Do Me a favour?” Anyways, I think two of you are getting along with really well, thank you.
