Do not major in the changing room
« previous post | next post »
The Chinese notice says:
qǐng wù zài gēngyī shì dà, xiǎobiàn
请勿在更衣室大，小便
"Please do not defecate or urinate in the locker / changing room."
Selected readings
- "Pull!" (11/11/21) — with a lengthy, essential bibliography of posts on urination
- "Pee straight" (9/5/13)
If you do a search on "defecate", "micturate", "poo", and related verbs and nouns, you will find dozens of other hilarious mistranslations on Language Log.
