Years ago I bought a t-shirt from a store with some asian characters on it.The Gardener said:That reminds me of an embarassing experience I had on a business trip in Japan. On an off day, my hosts took me golfing and after I hit an absolutely horrid shot that landed in the adjacent fairway, they all laughed and said something like "machigate anna". I asked them what that meant because the woman I was with the previous night said the same thing. They said "wrong hole".
The city where I lived barely had an asian population, it was a cool t-shirt so I kept using it.
Once during a trip to a Canadian city known for its Chinese population I used the t-shirt while going to a bar.
I swear people kept looking at the shirt, at first I didn't understood why I kept getting these gazes, until I looked at the shirt and realized it must say something funny.
I think it wasn't something offensive, as I didn't got attacked or something, it was more like "what is this guy thinking?", one dude even opened his mouth in astonishment.
I returned to my hotel and never wore that t-shirt again. Sadly I lost it and never knew what the hell it said
