“What does that even mean? And what is up with that blinding shade of neon?” are the two questions running through my mind. Every time I feel like I’ve finally gotten a handle on Korean fashion, they throw something like this my way… I spotted this t-shirt at a boutique near my house that usually sells very cute and flirty outfits; apparently it also caters to individuals who ‘feel relatively neutral about New York’. Quite the fashion statement when paired with the nautical themed hot pink scarf.
So, is there anyone out there who feels that way?
Want more EngRish?

It’s making fun of the “I heart NY” shirts… right? They were trying to be clever?

Haven’t seen that one in NYC in Chinatown!

No, but I think they would sell like hot cakes if someone imported them!
Korean Hipster postmodern irony? Its an art getting the balance just right.
These guys nailed it

The evolution of Korean fashion…
I definitely do not feel that way…I loooove NYC
Yeah, I can’t see very many people feeling ‘neutral’ about NYC. It’s one of those places you either love or hate.
I love it. It’s so perfectly ironic and ugly. It’s a hipster shirt I’d actually be willing to wear (to the gym).

Haha, yeah, I would wear it to the gym – if I went to the gym…
I don’t feel that way, but I would love to wear this shirt around Paris — so many Parisians are obsessed with New York!

It would make you a fashion icon! Pair that with some black (because I hear that’s what Parisians wear…) and voila!
I WANT THIS! Not that it actually represents my feelings about New York….but it’s hilarious!

Well, if you’re ever in Korea, I know the perfect boutique for you. AND it comes in more than one colour!
Now, I actually LOVE this Engrish – I don’t know if it even qualifies as Engrish? I also love the blinding shade of neon. YAY for ridiculously bright colours!
I’ve yet to see a t-shirt that beats one of my former student’s t-shirts, though – “I Have A Potty Emergency.”

CAN YOU BUY THIS T-SHIRT ANYWHERE? I THINK IT IS EXTREMELY FUNNY- GOOD JOKE!
Hahah! Hilarious! I want this shirt too. Where can I find it??
