Funny Hotel Names – Fook Yew!
Today’s post is about Funny Hotel Names – and this one is called the Fook Yew Hotel. It’s way funnier than this Hotel Gitmo T-Shirt!
This Funny Travel Photo was taken by Paul Gee – you can check out Paul’s Travel Blog.
Just like the Wong Fook Hing Book Store, you need to say ‘Fook Yew’ out aloud to get the joke of this Funny Hotel Name.
That’s right, just stand up now and yell out ‘FOOK YEW’. Double points for doing it to the person next to you at work.
Funny Hotel Name Conundrums!
It obviously doesn’t mean anything offensive in Malay, but when you pronounce it, it sounds like an insult in English! I’m sure the service at the Fook Yew Hotel is fine, but it just doesn’t sound right, hence why it scores today’s Funny Hotel Name!
More Funny Hotel Name Stuff
Sounds like another case of The Joys of Engrish! I can imagine saying Fook Yew to potential customers using this Reservations Master.
So there you go, another example of a Funny Hotel Name! Know of any others? Feel free to leave a comment and share!
