Ah, Arabic translation fails… One simply can’t get enough of them. From tattoos to street-signs, Arabic-English translation blunders never fail to crack us up.

Such fails can be found in menus at some Arab restaurants, which seem to resort to the oft-inaccurate Google Translate service.

Ranging from the ridiculously hilarious to the plain disgusting, here are 10 times Arabs failed miserably at translating their menus:

1. Vanilla becomes “undershirt” … An Arab mom was probably responsible for this one

3. Would you like to upgrade your order to a “Falafel unusual problem”?
