I got that one a few weeks ago. Hilarious! The Irish is absolutely terrible! I guess the Nigerians discovered Google "trashlate."

That's what we call it at IGTF. It's horrifying the number of people come to us for "confirmation" of a tattoo "translation" they got from there (made more horrifying by the fact that, for every person who comes to us for "confirmation," there're probably two or three who just go ahead with the tattoo without asking).
