Don't Ask Me

The T-shirt was priced at 10 euros, but I think it should have been free to anyone who knew what it meant. For me, it was almost a must-have.

I asked the sales clerk if she knew what it was supposed to mean and she said she didn't because her English wasn't good enough.

      I went through all words that begin with a backwards N and I still couldn't figure it out. Maybe you need to be a Dvslayer.

  2. I think it is actually: Gascon topographic name for someone who lived by a lagoon, from a local dialect form of French lagune [lagoon'].

      It must be the past tense of lagune, which is, as everyone knows, ElAGUE. Now it's clear.

      So sad. I guess your English just isn't good enough.

      Well, the LETTERS are mostly English, except for the backwards N.

    That's my guess. You have such an eye for fashion.

    1. Forgot to mention that you should note the blood dripping off the "Monster League" letters.

      I had some other thoughts on the meaning that I don't even want to consider! I'm so tempted to go back and see if they have my size, but I don't tend to wear T-shirts with sayings on them (anymore). Of course, this one doesn't really SAY anything, so maybe it doesn't count.

  8. We see the same type of shirt in France. I suspect they're all made in Asia, and the misspelling is a toss up between incompetence and avoiding copyright laws.

      Yep, definitely made somewhere in Asia.

  9. I think it means someone was high at the t-shirt factory a month ago.

  10. Maybe this is like abstract art, in that the meaning is open to interpretation LOL

      I love that idea. After all, what IS art? Anyway, this got us all thinking a lot more than a normal read would have done.

  11. I have noticed that much of the "logo' wear sold in Europe featuring universities in the United States, are fictional universities - I always expected this was done to avoid copyright, trademark and royalty issues. No idea what this one is suppose to read.

      I agree that at times copyright might have something to do with it. But at think at other times it's simply that the person designing the T-shirt doesn't know English and is simply faking it. Sometimes with really comical results.

  12. I do believe that the comments justify this product and now I do want one!

      I agree. It was no longer in the window the other day! Maybe I should go in and ask.
