well yea im going to say nothing is wrong with this i seen clothing stores with odd names
The problem is that in some languages the word “magazine” is the word for “store”, (not sure what is the name for the words that are similar in pronunciation, but different in meaning is), so, being a non-native speaker, at first, i couldn’t realize for a second what was wrong with that.
yea, must be french
In french, especially in Quebec we say Magasin, but take notice that we do not pronounce the n ending the same way you do. Sorry if I make mistake, in just a fucking frog
some1 really wanted 2 get on epic fail
Possible explanation:In that country they’re so poor they can only read the labels of shirts
I’m gonna guess that the country is so poor they only have 1 sign manufacturer & he lacks creativity.
lol
Yeah, “magazine(s)” is French for “mall” or “store”. Not so epic of a fail.
Magazine = from M.Fr. magasin “warehouse, depot, store”.
Not fail, just a store using the original meaning of the word.
What I can see is that there are a lot of stuff way out of the thief detectors…
Hahaha clepto much (:
Whoever submitted this is an ignorant idiot. English is not the only language used in the whole world!
I like that store, they sell some cool stuff, a lot of vintage clothes. It’s in between Ueno and Okatchimachi stations in Tokyo.
Magazine is french for magasine
or the word for shopping
everybody who thinks this is a fail is a walking fail
…It’s just a fail because, in English, magazine does not mean store, & I’m guessing the person who submitted this & the proprietors of this website are in English-speaking countries. So, to other people in English speaking countries it’s funny. It’s not trying to be ignorant & say English is the only language, it’s just supposed to appeal to English-speakers.
The word magazine originates in the Arabic language (if you go way back) and comes from the word ‘makhazin’ which as mentioned above, means an area of storage. The English word magazine is loosely based on this idea, magazines store knowledge, pictures, stories etc.
I don’t get it.
It’s french and it simply means “stores”.
Apart from the fact that english isn’t the only language on planet earth I still don’t get the “FAIL”.
