    I remember seeing in a HK movie once, when the spoken dialog was, LAY JUN BAY JUP BOW FOOK got translated as You ready to pack luggage. What he meant was, You better pack your bags... :pattytime:

    or, me no yellow cow... :)

    And actually, your title is the tail wagging the dog, ie you got it backwards. These aren't funny Chinese phrases into English; rather they are common everyday normal Canto Chinese phrases mistranslated into Funny English. But they're nonetheless hilarious.

    I didn't do them, I copied them from somewhere over the net

    Yeah, I was pondering that question too. But then I just couldn't be bothered.

    ok .. not all that funny .. perhaps when you're used to hearing in the language, it's natural to understand rather than finding the humor in it .. kinda take the english translation as typical of diff in lang.
