Translations wanted

Postby Lance » Wed Dec 06, 2006 1:40 am

I would like this translated into Spanish and what ever other languages you guys think would look good on a bottle label that I am going to print out:

Salad Dressing
DO NOT THROW AWAY!


The place where Cyndi works cleans out there office fridge every so often and Cyndi has had brand new bottles of salad dressing thrown away that had just been put in there 3 days before.

Heck, they once threw out one of Cyndi's colleague's Corning ware casserole dishes.

Salatsauce. Nicht wegwerfen!

I'll take a crack at this.

Tagalog. Or more probably, bad Taglish. I decided to use 'salad sauce' for salad dressing, because I always find the code-switching that Tagalog speaker do a little disconcerting.
Sarsang ensalada.
Huwag kang itapon!


My native language: central North Carolinian. I think it's related to English.
Y'all don't throw out my salad dressing.


Dubya, a language that, while superficially resembles English, is undoubtedly only a distant relative.
This is sar-uh-sal-uh salad dressing. We all agree that we like, uh, to have something on our salad, some dressing. We don't support violence, but we, uh, also don't support throwing it away, throwing good salad dressing. Throwing it out is wasteful. It's wasteful and it's against our Amerkin values. We don't support the acquisition of nukular, uh, arms by turrist countries, and we don't support throwing away salad dressing. And we need to, uh, uh, y'know, be able to have salad dressing.

So do you have an, KOS? I thought you'd have a couple.

If you think this is a trap, just PM me, but it's not anyway...

Of course, I'd like to be in the break room and see the reactions from the other employees when Cyndi plopps it on her salad. :sick:

They're not using it, they're throwing it away. I think that would hasten, not reduce the problem.

How about writing the boss's name on it in big letters? Someone might think twice about throwing out the boss's salad dressing.

It's the contract kitchen staff that's doing it. They only know a boss named José (or something similar) who wouldn't have anything in that fridge anyway.

Cyndi works in the UBS Tower in Chicago. Not a small, close knit organization.
