On My Way To Korea

When I first saw this sign, I thought they had misquoted the phrase “don’t worry, be happy.’  The other day when me and a friend passed by the sign he asked me if I knew what it meant and I mentioned that the English phrase is wrong.  He continued to explain the pun: so (소) is Korean for cow, so this place uses that phrase as a pun to say that they’re a restaurant specializing in beef.  Clever.

Now for the fail.  Here’s a store which has its Korean name romanized into something which I can guarantee no foreigner will pronounce right.  At least they include a sane secondary title/description.  Yet another reason to learn Hangeul as quickly as you can.

I absolutely love language humor.  There’s a lot of bad English examples, but does anyone know of any Korean ones?  I would love to see that.

I couldn’t resist taking a pic of this one.
