And every westerner with a Chinese, korean, or japanese tattoo or shirt knows exactly what it says. I used to know a guy who was fluent in mandarin and one or two other dialects. He collected pictures of tattoos.
When I went to Korea for my son's wedding about ten years ago, there was an adolescent male in the church (7th Day Adventist) with a shirt that read "My parents went to New York and all I got was this fucking shirt." It was all I could do to not laugh out loud and point.
I had to laugh at this. When I visted China I found a lot of Chinese were wearing western T shirts and had no idea what was on them or what it meant.
