excellent thread. i used to run into shit like this all over Queens when I used to work there, but I dared not bring a camera or any valuables with me to work...
Engrish for me has also always been a way to describe most and almost every horrible hybrid of English and a native tongue. Spanglish is the only term I've really heard in reverse, and it's equally funny to hear English speakers trying to speak a foreign language by adding Spanish/whatever sounding sounds to the beginning or end of their English words.
ex. "Yo quiero... er... quiero you me give-o el quesadillo but without... wait... er... no cheeso Americano, no cheeso Americano. OK?"
edit - had to add this one from the site at the top
