Engrish
The result of trying to fit English words into Japanese phonetics (what sounds are used, and how those sounds are stressed when speaking in a given language). Engrish happens, because its hard for someone used to speaking Japanese to speak proper English so they use speaking patterns the are used to. Its like an American trying to speak sexy fluid French without years of practice. Engrish also occurs if someone wants to speak English without knowing the language. So they take the English syllables of what they want to say, and put them in Japanese characters that represent a single syllable, and read it like that. The most well known form of Engrish involves swapping "R" sounds for "L" sounds or vice versa, (hence the Term "engRish") as the Japanese sound for both of these letters is a single rolled "R" (like Spanish). Also many times syllables are cut short or added onto because Japanese syllables must end in vowels (it seems to be most common to stick on either "o" or "u"). So "Roll" would be lo-lu And Beer would be "Be-a" or "Be-a-ru" Engrish is very common in Anime and Japanese pop culture since English was, and still is to some extent, very popular and stylish in Japan. The other definitions are not Engrish at all, they are babelphishing. Even though the two go hand in hand, they're still, but still very different.

I’m right handed and would’ve liked it better if the handle was on right side with name facing forward instead of having verbiage facing front
girlfriend loved it :) - Ian's Girlfriend
the urge to buy it and write cum on it
Purchased this mug as a Christmas gift. Can’t wait to see the reaction!
This is to test if the Urban Dictionary store rating system is working and not showing fake 5 star reviews.
These are hilarious! Great gifts. Cost seems a bit high but i couldn’t resist.
It’s a great way to store my pencils.
I used this instead of condoms It didn’t work and now my nephew is my son
Ordering was very easy and the delivery to a different address then the billing address was done effortlessly with complete correct order. Was delivered before estimated date which was very exciting. Good job well done by all.
Funny stuff! I wish the mugs cost a bit less, I'd buy more. There's an almost unlimited supply of clever slang.
awesome. came just as ordered.
Nice cup a few words were darker than the rest. But ok
아주 좋은 머그잔 나는 죽은 아버지를 위해 시원한 머그잔을 얻었고 매우 자랑스러워했습니다.
I like the mug, it’s good quality, unfortunately the customization wasn’t correct. I got the “juff” mug and instead of the definition i had a quote from one of my friends as a bit, but it just came with the definition. I’ll still give it to him because the joke still works but I am a little disappointed.
Love the fact that Urban dictionary came up with such an accurate and quick meaning for Binger! Mug was a little pricy but God is my morning coffee so much better in this mug!!
This mug is incredible! It was a great gift for my friend named Jacob, who is definitely gay. (Even though he says he isn't 🙄)
