Engrish

One of my first grade students has a notebook plastered with English phrases, clearly bought that way, not handwritten. I thought I'd share just a few, to perhaps give you a glimpse into the reasons I continually laugh aloud in the middle of a silent classroom.

-She is fat ass? Are you tripping?
-Screw you guys-I'm going to America.
-"Beat me."
-Hey shorty, what are you doing later?

So, there you have it. Complete with unnecessary quotation marks, grammatical errors and a lack of sense. I'm not sure why one would go to American to not get screwed...that seems rather backwards. And I'm not quite sure who's coming on to shorty, but it still made me laugh.
