Walking the evening streets of Fukui, Japan I saw a nice well lit sign in front of a place named "WORST singing+Bar".

Dungarees or blue jeans is Hindi and used to indicate Levi’s now.

Madras, tie dye shirts were very popular. Soft cotton. Like to find one now. Language changes. What was old is new and vice-versa. Lassi the yogurt drink is so close to lassie a young woman. Must be more melting pot words. Really like this challenge you took on for size or sighs.

There used to be a chat forum long ago at https://engrish.com/ . The forum seems to have gone away but the Engrish is still there in delightful abundance.

lol, funny! The signs are not as bad here due to the 200 years of historical immersion in the English language that everyone's had ;-)
