Engrish is a slang word for the English language phrase that arose through poor translation of another language (usually Japanese) into English, or sometimes, poor translation of English into another language followed by good translation back into English. This used to be a frequent occurrence with product manuals, which might say something like "to make speed up find up out document". If you want to find out more about Engrish, check out Engrish.com (and also for a good laugh).
This site celebrates the wonderful engrish subtitles featured in an asian bootleg DVD of Lord of The Rings - The Two Towers. Unfortunaltely, the site seems to be brought down due to a lack of humor of New Line Cinema, but now here's the incredible silly Engrish captions of the Fellowship of the Ring !
