Just for a giggle, what strange English have you heard.
Rule No 1: It must at least vaguely humorous.
Yesterday, my vertically challenged 'boss' said about some tea towels she had recently bought which were better at spreading than absorbing......
"This is last that I buy cheap rags, they don't suck good"

I introduced my Croatian girlfriend to my English step-mother. A real matriarch, Barbara Cartland type.
Said Croatian was eager to make a good impression. After downing a cup of coffee my girlfiend said:
"Thank you June, the coffee was f*cking nice"
They got on like a house on fire after that!

Heard tonight from the Croatian wife of an English friend........
Q; "Do you know where I can buy some floz?"
A; "Floz? What do you mean, what is a floz?"
"I dont know, but it says in this recipe book, to add six floz and I dont know what a floz is"
(To all non cooks out there a "floz" in English is a fluid ounce)
Priceless! ;D

My other half was out walking in our village which is very remote. He was stopped by a car with GB plates and they asked if the road went to Sarajevo. He replied "no the road is grown over with trees" to which they said "your english is very good"!
Ok so not english by a Croatian but quite funny. Who would expect English speakers in the middle of no-where!

It was funny cos they thought he was a Croatian farmer (he was standing next to about 150 sheep on our dirt road which is 10km from 'town') but were'nt overly surprised that he gave them directions in fluent english. GMH - you need to get to a remote village and drink more rakija - it's much funnier then!
