The term 'Engrish' dates back to the early days of the internet, primarily used to describe the often-hilarious results of English text being poorly translated from Asian languages, particularly Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. The phenomenon gained massive traction with the 'All your base are belong to us' catchphrase from the 1989 game Zero Wing. It celebrates the accidental poetry and absurdity found on menus, product packaging, and public signage where the intended message is lost in translation. Today, Engrish remains a staple of internet humor, capturing the quirky side of global cross-cultural communication.
