Photos: Signs of Singlish

Here are some signs that reflect differences in language...

1. Way Out - Another way to say exit I guess.

2. Humps Ahead - Makes sense, but why not just use "bumps"?

3. daily cuppa - Not just a cup, but a "cuppa".

4. Gas/Water Riser - What's a "riser"? Placed outside a gas/water meter

5. upriding escalators - Instead of ascending

6. Inconvenience Regretted - Usually it would say "we apologize for the inconvenience" or something like that

7. naked flames - Not just open flames...

8. door cock - Okay, not to be juvenile, so I'll just ask -- what is this supposed to be?

9. At least management is honest to point out their own behavior.

10. mind your head - Just like the London Underground and Hong Kong MTR with their "minding the gap".

11. Travellator - Instead of a moving walkway?
